What does this line even mean? It defiantly belongs in not the section it was in though.



cygwin using gcc 6.4.0 is causing problems with the default prefix build of gcc 5.3.0
A friendly warning may be in order for new/recent users - because cygwin-setup (v2.881) now installs gcc-6.4.0 (with the various associated updates in relation to ABI), the bootstrap script from Prefix breaks at stage2. The current Prefix GCC version is currently only gcc-5.3.0, which is incompatible. GCC stage2 build breaks with multiple instances of "warning: invalid suffix on literal; C++11 requires a space between literal and string macro". nautilus42jp 13:26, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
