[Mingw-users] Build problems making gcc-3.2 from mingw32 sources

[Michael L T. <to...@by...>]

I've been trying to build gcc-3.2 from mingw32 sources on Linux (as a
cross-compiler) and under cygwin.  I have installed under linux the
runtime (which shouldn't be necessary for building the compiler, should
it?  I'm trying to build a linux executable...)

All the prerequisites are in place.  the binutils, etc.

Can it be done?

Basically it ends with a compile error on linux (gcc2.96 and gcc 3.2)
and on cygwin.  Last time I tried it with 2.96:
