For me all windres tests fail:

Running
/home/rainer/software/src/binutils-cvs-checkout/src/binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/windres/windres.exp
...

Warning: Assuming windres can find the win32 headers

Does anybody else sees this.

Hi Rainer,

The windres program needs a C pre-processor in order to handle macros 
inside an rc file.  By default it will try to execute "gcc -E -xc 
-DRC_INVOKED" as the pre-processor command.  If this will not work on 
your system then you are going to need to add a --preprocessor=<...> 
command line switch to the invocations of windres.  Since this is being 
invoked from inside the testsuite you will have to modify the 
binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/windres/windres.exp file directly in 
order to do this.

Ideally there ought to be an info variable defined in the board 
description file loaded by the testsuite which specifies any extra 
parameters that should be passed to windres.  If you want to submit a 
patch that does this then I will be happy to review it ... :-)

Cheers
   Nick

The described problem is only seen if I compile binutils with gcc-4.4.x or
gcc-trunk and one of this two is in the PATH.

If I call the windres wrapper executable in the bintuils directory I get
$ ./windres -v
Tried
`/home/rainer/software/build/i686-pc-cygwin/gcc-4.4.1/binutils/binutils/./.libs/gcc.exe'
Using `gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED  -'
Using popen to read preprocessor output
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
/home/rainer/software/build/i686-pc-cygwin/gcc-4.4.1/binutils/binutils/./.libs/windres:
preprocessing failed.

If I call windres executable in the binutils/.libs directory instaed I get
$ .libs/windres.exe -v
Tried `.libs/gcc.exe'
Using `gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED  -'
Using popen to read preprocessor output

So that seems to be ok.

My conclusion is that there's a more weired problem which only appears with
gcc-4.4x or gcc-trunk and I don't have an idea how to approach this.
