I have done several patches for bootstrap and cygwin.

My latest error is:

gcc -I. -I./.. -I. -I.. -I./../libedit  -I./../libnetbs

This fcns.h is generated.

It only has a couple lines of code:

typedef el_action_t (*el_func_t)(EditLine *, int);
protected el_func_t* func__get(void);

Any ideas?

Also, maybe the libedit should be split out of the
pkgsrc/net/tnftp/files/libedit and put into its own pkgsrc/devel/libedit/
packages (with source included in pkgsrc for bootstrapping).

(I am not suggesting removing libedit from your official tnftp download
but for pkgsrc.)

Here is a recent NetBSD port of libedit to autotool/libtool:
 http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/

I see it does say it has been successfully tested on i686-pc-cygwin.

I haven't looked closely, but maybe this version fixes my problem.
