Hello all,

I'm trying to compile U-boot 2017.01 (Release) Under Cygwin 2.6.1 for a BeagleBoneBlack target.

I was facing the issue with a lot of error about the "inline" keyword. This keyword is not supported with the "-ansi" option. After removing this option in the makefile, the compile is successful.

It seems that this is a known error since more than 3-4 years. The question is : Why the "-ansi" option is still part of the Makefile for a Cygwin environment?

Thanks for your answer. If I am on the wrong way, let me know, I will really appreciate.

I think because, generally, no one has sent a proper patch to remove it. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches thanks!
