[Bug 17046] New: GCC/cygwin can't compile executables

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17046

Summary: GCC/cygwin can't compile executables
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.13
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://cygwin.com/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
        Depends on: 12721

austin@austin-desktop /cygdrive/c/cygwin
$ cat hello.c                                                                  
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
  for(;;)
      { 
          printf ("Hello World!\n");
      }
}

austin@austin-desktop /cygdrive/c/cygwin
$ gcc -o hello hello.c                                                         
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe: cannot
execute binary file

Nothing useful in wine's output, just:
fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile 0x1c: volume info not supported
fixme:advapi:ImpersonateLoggedOnUser (0xd8)

Running as.exe on its own looks like 12721, so may be a dupe of bug 12721.
Either way, compiling programs is pretty important, so I think it deserves its
own bug.

This is caused by a missing feature or bug in wine that breaks cygwin's symlink
implementation. A cygwin symlink (sometimes called a fake symlink or simulated
symlink) is a file containing the text '!<symlink>path/to/target\0'.

All the files in /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin are cygwin symlink's to the actual
binary files in /usr/bin. Wine refuses to execute the symlink files, and
therefore gcc fails.

Until this bug is resolved, the following script can used to get cygwin gcc
working:

for x in ar.exe as.exe ld.exe nm.exe ranlib.exe strip.exe ; do
     rm /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/$x
     ln -s /usr/bin/$x /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/$x
 done
