Huh, what's with *that* attitude? You know *now* that this happened before the dispute, but you didn't when you posted the patch and the question "Didn't we agree at the time that the prototypes should be corrected as well?" --- why did you need to ask it? > Btw, it's obvious that no one tried to compile go32-nat.c since then. > How can we be sure we don't break targets if they are not regularly > built? Right, last time I built it was on August 2008, which resulted in the wiki page at . I can only assume that people interested in keeping the port alive will be the people that build it most frequently. And I assumed that the port maintainer would build it regularly. > Didn't Andrew set up such a build at the time? I have no idea what talking about here.
