OK, I'm using msys.  I've figured out how to change the path there.  I went to 
gmp and ran "./configure --host=x86_64-pc-mingw32" and then came across an 
error.  While configure is running, it checks to see if it can find a working 
compiler.  It failed and said to check the log file.  When I looked in the log 
file, I came across this:

configure:3851: checking compiler x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc -O2 -m64
Test compile:
configure:3865: x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc -O2 -m64  conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:2: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

configure:3868: $? = 1
failed program was:

int main () { return 0; }
configure:4874: result: no


Now, I tried to compile that same program on my own like:
x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc -o test.exe test.c
And it worked fine.

But, when I tried it the way the config file tried it:
x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc -O2 -m64  test.c
It failed, just like it did for the script.

Any ideas on what might be going wrong here?  It fails whether or not I use 
rxvt, so that shouldn't be an issue.
