Re: [Mingw-users] fixincl.c, SIGQUIT, gcc as a cross compiler?

Hi,

sorry for leaving out these informations.  I use MinGW on
Windows 2000, i want to generate a cross compiler that
runs on Windows 2000 for an embedded controller, the
NEC V850E.

I successfully did this on a linux host and under cygwin.
Basically i always configured and compiled binutils for that
target.  On MinGW i did this by:

../binutils-2.16/configure --target=v850e-unknown-elf
make
make install

For gcc i did:

../gcc-3.4.4/configure --target=v850e-unknown-elf --enable-languages="c"

Yes, i know that.  I plan to install newlib-1.13.0 after installing
gcc.

I'd wonder, at that level i only want to build the gcc cross compiler
for V850E, i'll install the libs later.


I think that the problem is rather caused by some calls in gcc that
are not available on MinGW.  I thought there might be a patch available
to work around these calls or to remove them where possible?
