There's a lesson here for both of us, I think :-) Your patches do things which are to me _quite_ mysterious, as in I stared at them and couldn't work out what they were for. I think this is because you described your goal, but not how you were getting there. As I described, CodeSourcery already builds this way regularly: > You build a standard canadian, three staged, as usual: > > configure/make/install linux-linux-mingw > configure/make/install linux-linux-arm > configure/make/install linux-mingw-arm So since we didn't encounter any of these bugs you've described, I assumed you were doing something different. I apologize. I'm not familiar with our linux-linux-mingw process, but I don't see any reason it should be fundamentally different from this. Except, doh, it appears we only build the compiler and not the runtime from scratch :-( No wonder I was confused. Sorry again! -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
