Lots of Vista32 problems

[Michael J. Wheeler]

OK, I've been working on this problem for several days now and I'm about 
ready to give up all together. I'm really hoping someone can help me out. I 
used cygwin for years on XP and now that I've moved to Vista, I can't get 
anything to work.

Whenever I try to run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat , it crashes. I have 
created a stackdump and put it here: 
https://go.pittstate.edu/mjw/cygwin.strace . I was told to rebaseall and 
that didn't work. I also tried rebasing to a different address, then back 
to the default -- still nothing.

Next, I was told to try to rebuild the current cygwin package. That fails 
on make install every time (collect2.exe). After that, I tried building the 
latest snapshot... Now configure fails near the beginning when it's testing 
to see if gcc works. The only way I've seen to get around that is to do a 
full reinstall.. but that's kind of frustrating waiting for 2 hours to 
reinstall everything.

Basically I'm at my wits end and I really hope somebody can help before I 
give up on being able to use cygwin on Vista...
