Summary: libffi fails to build for alternate target in multilib configuration Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libffi AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: vit...@vityan.sytes.net Host: i686-w64-mingw32 Target: i686-w64-mingw32,x86_64-w64-mingw32 Build: i686-pc-mingw32(msys) Created attachment 22894 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22894 libffi multilib support fix for MingW64 Then multilib is enabled for toolchain(--enable-multilib) libffi fails to build for alternative(secondary) target. The issue caused by libffi's configury system only handling the main host/target without any respect to multilib. For x86_64-w64-mingw32 i've forced to manually import files from libffi 3.0.10-cvs into libffi/src/x86/ from GCC tree but this is out of scope of current issue. This issue is global for many targets. I've made a patch fixing this issue for i686-*-mingw32,x86_64-*-mingw32 targets with multilib configuration.
