Kevin,

I'm afraid it's still not working for me.  Here's what I'm seeing in
config.log at the point of the failure:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc version 3.3.3 (cygwin special)
configure:2280: $? = 0
configure:2282: g++ -V </dev/null >&5
g++: `-V' option must have argument
configure:2285: $? = 1
configure:2308: checking for C++ compiler default output file name
configure:2311: g++    conftest.cc  >&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
installation problem, cannot exec 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld': 
Resource temporarily unavailable
collect2: ld returned 255 exit status
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently g++ wants an explicit argument for its -V option, but when
I supply one, like this in the configure script:

  (eval $ac_compiler -V 3.3.3 </dev/null >&5) 2>&5

g++ then reports it has no input files.  Assuming the script works for
you (else you wouldn't have provided the update), it's strange it
doesn't work for me.  Are you using g++ v. 3.3.3 from cygwin?
Wish I could be more helpful.
