I think we agreed to proceed with transitioning from the old gcc-3 -mno-cygwin compilers to a true i686-pc-mingw32 cross-compiler environment. This entails adding mingw-binutils, mingw-gcc (which would replace gcc-mingw-3.x), and rebuilding mingw-* to use the sysroot (including a new sysrooted mingw-w32api, separate from w32api in /usr).
The question is now, who is going to do this? * gcc-mingw belongs to Dave Korn as it was part of gcc3 itself, but that connection is not necessary with a separate cross-compiler. * mingw-runtime and w32api belong to Chris Sutcliffe. * All other mingw-* packages belong ot Charles Wilson. Chuck, since you maintain most of the mingw-* packages and are involved with mingw.org, you're the most logical choice. FYI, my prototypes are now in Ports git: http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/ports;a=tree;f=crossdevel Are you planning to proceed with this, and when? Yaakov
