Robert P. J. DAY says:
According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.
1 [ Building gcc-2.95.3 on cygwin yields a compiler that sticks a .exe
2 on the end of every executable, even if they're linux executable.
3 This is highly annoying, and causes glibc build failures that look like this:
4 mv: `.../bin/makedb.new' and `.../bin/makedb' are the same file
5 make[2]: *** [.../bin/makedb] Error 1
6 make[2]: Leaving directory `.../gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3/glibc-2.1.3/db2'
8 The mainline solves this with http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2001-04/msg00440.html,
9 but that doesn't apply cleanly to gcc-2.95.3.

13 This is the only patch in crosstool that *isn't* suitable for the mainline.
14 I can live with this patch simply because crosstool does not build
15 compilers that target cygwin or VAX/VMS.
16 If that ever changes, I might need to try applying the real patch.
