You may be finding either that the quote is simply not being processed
properly (try without it) or that it is being escaped by the backslash in
front of it (try putting the entire path in quotes, i.e. "C:\Program
Files\mingw32"). Just a couple of ideas.

I use MINGW32 in a different path than C:\MINGW32.  You need to check 
your environment variables.  Make sure that the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is 
correct.  You must have MSDOS style paths and path separators.  You must 
end GCC_EXEC_PREFIX with a \

I believe you need to add a switch to indicate windows. In cygwin32 it 
is -mwindows.  I don't know if it has changed for MINGW32.

That makes two of us :-)

All patches are with the rest on on the FTP server, same machine:

The tricky part in building GCC yourself is not getting the sources,
but the fact that you need a unix system with a crosscompiler to build
everything. And, I use snapshot binutils (gas) and those sources are not
public.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
