roger pack <rogerdpack at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rogerdpack at gmail dot com --- Comment #27 from roger pack <rogerdpack at gmail dot com> --- (sorry to comment on something so ancient). Anyway ran into something similar today, a couple of hints/clues: mine was caused by having an empty environment variable CFLAGS (like bash's export CFLAGS=). So unsetting that and I was good to go. Also (as others have noted) this error message basically means "your cross compiler is unable to link at all" or something like that (the config.log that may describe it is called something like i686-w64-mingw32/libstdc++-v3/config.log)
