I have *exactly* Dave Megginson's problem too (not, not *that* one :-) ).

With $TMPDIR set to e:\, gcc reported ...

gcc e:/cc100000.cpp : cannot find file

So, I thought I'd try the cs.uni-sb.de version (yes, I *will* post it to
atari.archive, but I'm temporarily, denied ftp access, so you'll just *have* to
wait). On with the plot --- I tried the cs.uni-sb.de version --- Crashed and
burned. However, the cs.uni-sb.de version of GNU C was posted there by Edgar
Roeder (with whom I am e-corresponding). I happen to know that Edgar is a bash
user --- bash allows you to use / as well as \. Soooo, I got bash and turned on
the / option --- Crashed & burned *again* --- and yes, I tried it with without
the / option ... surprise, Crashed & burned!. No matter *what* I set $TMPDIR
to, gcc reports that it cannot find $TMPDIR/cc100000.cpp (and yes, I made sure
that $TMP matched $TMPDIR, just in case).

export TMPDIR=/tmp
echo $TMPDIR
/tmp
gcc -v -o test test.c

gcc: /tmp/cc1000000.cpp cannot find file.

export TMPDIR=/gnu/tmp
echo $TMPDIR
/gnu/tmp
gcc -v -o test test.c

gcc: /gnu/tmp/cc1000000.cpp cannot find file.

That's two different versions of GCC giving *exactly* the same problem under
two different environments. Anyone any ideas? Edgar's suggestions involve
looking deep into the execution process using SysMon or master --- I have
neither at the moment.

Graham (*still* puzzled) Higgins.
