RE: [Mingw-users] Bare minimal install

Is it possible to use another linker?  Sounds like we will need the =
startup
code so we will install the mingw-runtime?

The linker is part of binutils.

The startup code and standard C headers are part of mingw-runtime.

Your needs seem very limited, so could try building your system
without those things. If you need the gnu linker or the C system
headers, you'll find out soon enough. The startup code may be the
hardest thing to dispense with, but if you don't need things like
'stdout' initialized for you, then perhaps you could write your
own, but it's pretty exacting work and probably more trouble than
it's worth to save just downloading it.

But it's probably better to stabilize your build with those
components first, then see whether there's anything you can
eliminate.
