Strange, I don't need those links. Is it only *-ar and *-ranlib or all of them? > Therefore i think the binutils package must be installed before building the > gcc package. Just checked that and yes, you're right.

This fails with a linker > error (attached: user.log). It's the circular dependency again: you need to have MinGW installed in order to build it. I thought it was only the mingw-runtime package but it appears you need to have mingw-w32api installed as well. I've updated the web page to reflect this. This is a problem with the upstream sources by the way. Maybe we can solve this by splitting them up and reordering them a bit, don't know, but I will look into this. > I will try to build mingw-3.2 in the evening. Keep me posted. -Hans
