--- Comment #15 from Ray Donnelly <mingw.android at gmail dot com> 2013-01-15 16:07:45 UTC --- What brought me here was a desire to add some information about this bug, when I saw the odcctools comment from Iain I thought I may as well mention my compilers. Further Information: I'm also getting this when trying to build some Android cross compilers in the Canadian way, with failures when host is either Darwin or Windows. The bug only happens if --enable-plugins is specified to configure (as that's what triggers building a gengtype executable for the host machine).
