mingw gcc build

["SPENCER OLIVER" <sjo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have successfully built the gcc 3.4.1 toolchain using cygwin - I would prefer a mingw based gcc such as yours.
Due to the collect2 (fork etc) problems I have downloaded your patched gcc source but am still unable to build gcc.
binutils builds ok using CFLAGS-mno-cygwin and --host-mingw32, but gcc fails.

Fixincl again fails to find fork.
I have also just tried using the mingw binary rather than to no-cygwin option to gcc, putting mingw before gcc in the path - again this still fails as above.

What configure options do you pass to enable mingw build, is it just CFLAGS=-mno-cygwin or do you pass the --host=mingw32 to configure ?

I am building a arm-elf target with a modified newlib, optimised for smaller arm7 cores.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Spen
