Vista x64 Beta2
When I installed to x64 Vista beta2 to my machine, CYGWIN / MINGW doesn't works on this build even if using 32-bit version of CMD.EXE.
So, now, I am thinking about porting CYGWIN (GCC / BINUTILS) to x64. I reseach source code on latest CVS, it doesn't support PE/COFF x86-64 and GCC doesn't support Win64 way of parameter passing.
I am looking for new idea to port it...

Cygwin doesn't work on 64-bit CMD.EXE
When I build Mozilla on XP build 1218, cygwin throws the following error.
bash-2.05b$ sh
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe (1188): *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x490000
- 0x690000, Win32 error 0
49 [main] bash 1204 sync_with_child: child 1188(0x298) died before initialization with status code 0x1
1349 [main] bash 1204 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Today, when I reseach this issue, I found workaround. We must use 32-Bit CMD.EXE on C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\CMD.EXE when you use CygWIN. Who is porting it to Win64?? If so, please tell me.
