Summary: binutils: windres.exe crash on popen

Initial Comment:

I needed to reinstall my whole mSys/MinGW distribution
(a stupid misplaced "rm -fr *"... ), and now I have a
problem with windres.exe that I compiled from binutils
(tried both 2.15 or 2.16).

When using windres from MinGW shell, I need to add
"--use-temp-file" flag, otherwise it crashes on line
320 of "binutils/resrc.c":
 cpp_pipe = popen (cmd, FOPEN_RT);

A sample crash gives:
"windres.exe caused an Access Violation at location
77c3f463 in module msvcrt.dll Reading from location
00000000.
Call stack:
77C3F463  msvcrt.dll:77C3F463  _popen
00402AE8  windres.exe:00402AE8  open_input_stream 
resrc.c:319
......

I don't get the crash under a dos console, I only get
it from MinGW shell.

Did I wrongly compile the runtime package ? Or is it
from my binutils ? Or is the popen in msvcrt.dll at fault ?

Thanks for advice,
Julien

Attached is the source fix I used to avoid the crash. It
makes windres for MinGW default to '--use-temp-file'.
