The Binutils bug PR 4334 has pointed out the problems of trying to build a toolchain under Cygwin with a build directory mounted in text mode. So, I think that it is agreed that toolchains should only be built on bin-mounted drives and I would like the configure script to make sure that this happens. I am attaching a provisional patch which I think will do what I want, but I would like to get your comments it. I tested the patch under both Cygwin and Linux, and it does not appear to introduce any new problems, so I am reasonably confident that it works. But I am not at all sure that I have used the best approach to the problem. Your comments ?
