I'm working on the mingw-w64 GCC package on Cygwin. Normally, anything

Yaakov suggested installing to /usr, but there are some problems with it.

This makes GCC look in /usr/mingw regardless of what the toolchain
target is (anything matching mingw*), bad idea if we want a gcc 4
mingw.org cross toolchain later. It can be fixed, but I'm not too sure
how yet.

   Hmm, does this even happen when it is being built as a cross- rather than
native- compiler?  That would be a GCC bug if so; cross-compilers are meant
not to look in the standard system directories as if they were native, see the
docs for LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR, SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIR, STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR and
INCLUDE_DEFAULTS(*) for full details.


Well, cross GCC looks in /sysroot/mingw if that is what you mean.

Locale data is also conflicting.

   So can't it just go in $prefix/$target/share instead of $prefix/share after
a bit of fiddling with configure options?


It could.
