------------------------------------------------

1) ecpg does not honour HAVE_SNPRINTF being undefined. make fails :(

2) gcc warns about redefine of CURRENT_TIME. Nothing
serious (I mean the compile does not fail..), I just thought I mention.

defined in backend/parse.h & <sys/ipc.h> (cygwin32_ipc-1.03)

ok, I chacked. In different .c files they are included in different
order.

ipc.h: #define CURRENT_TIME time(0)
parse.h: #define CURRENT_TIME 287

How it affects the program, I do not know. Maybe this is serious...

Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

snoopy$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 SNOOPY 20.1 (0.3/1/1) 1998-12-3 20:39:18 i586 unknown
snoopy$ make

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

Somebody with a clue should look into it.

Is this really the Right Thing(tm) to have bug-reporting list
available only to subscribers? I mean it should be encouraged to
be on list but enforced? There should be decent anti-spam software
floating around?
