[Mingw-msys] Bug #671479

[E. W. <er...@ec...>]

Hi Earnie and others,

I build and distribute an open source software development toolset for the 
Atmel AVR microcontroller that includes a cross-GCC that is built with 
MinGW/MSYS. This avr-gcc gets relocated to a user-defined installation 
directory and must work from there.

I posted bug #671479 quite some time ago, about msys-1.0.8 having a bug 
that no longer allows the built avr-gcc to be relocated to a different 
directory. I have to use msys-1.0.8-rc2 for it to work correctly. According 
to the comments in the bug, this bug has been confirmed and has been 
analyzed somewhat.

What is the status of this bug? Has it been fixed? I would very much like 
to upgrade my tools.

I can tell from reading other posts, that you're very busy Earnie. I 
appreciate any time you can spare for this bug. Thanks.

Eric
