Snapshot 20000104 failed under CygWin 20.1 --- follow-up

[Rosimildo da Silva]

I have finally got my application running with this snapshot. Beyond the 
problems stated before to get CDTEST up and running, there are more:

  + POSIX API behaves strange ( probably bugs or configuration ) when
ITRON API is turned off.

One in particular that fails to me is:

   pthread_key_create()

It returns ENOMEM error, even though the machine has 128M, I've tried to
give 8M to the 
workspace without any luck. :-)

I did not debug as much as could, but this snapshot gave me
a lot of fun. :-).


If I turn ITRON API on, ENABLE_RTEMS_ITRON=yes, everythings seems to
work a lot more reliable.


Is there any special configuration setting to turn ITRON off ?


The good news is that the "build environment" is getting better for
CygWin.
Except for rpcgen, I had no problems building RTEMS under CygWin this
time.
