The package is ming264-i686. That's why I mentioned it. There is no specific mirror that you need to get proper packages. That's why they're called "mirrors". >2)Should configure check for and advise of possible problems with >'incorrect' version of mingw64? Since the builders of setup.exe are supposed to be people who understand the process there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of need to make configure foolproof. However, we certainly wouldn't object to patches.
