RE: for loop speed in different Windows versions + make failure:

[THOMAS Paul Richard]

Dear All,

I just found the time to have another stab at building octave-2.1.53 under
Cygwin, with exactly the same result as previously.

What I did not notice before is that just before the linking of balance.o,
comes the error message:

g++ unrecognised option -rdynamic

I have not submitted this as a bug report yet because I assume that I am
doing something daft but cannot figure out what it is.

I followed the instructions in README.Windows:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static           and then
make

If I drop the --enable-shared and the --disable-static, the build goes
through fine and I get a working octave out of it; ND arrays and all.
However, the result is as slow as Ben's "self-compiled" octave.

I have included below the octave_config_info.

Is there anything else that I should do to diagnose this? 

Paul Thomas
