Oh yes, I had forgotten about this small difference...

It does not help either. What I hadn't seen before is that there
is both a mips_sgi_mach_dep.s and a mips_sgi_mach_dep.S in the
CVS repository !

Cygwin cannot tolerate two files with same names, where only the
case differs (.s and .S).

Could this be fixed in the CVS, please, e.g. by either renaming
one of the files, or by removing the one which has become useless
(I guess that since a .S exists, the .s is generated from it ?)

Without this, users won't be able to successfully build MONO on
Cygwin using the mono-build-w32.sh script (the CVS update fails,
and so does the script).

Thanks.
