Also @magicus, what is the typical path passed to --with-binutils like on Windows? Something like --with-binutils=/c/Users/vertig0/Downloads/binutils-2.42 doesn't work correctly, since the include path to dis-asm.h would then become `#include "/c/Users/vertig0/Downloads/binutils-2.42/include/dis-asm.h"` Which causes a configure check to fail on the compile stage since gcc cannot recognise the MINGW-esque /c/ as a drive, and then causes configure to erroneously report binutils as using the Old API when it's in fact using the New API. --with-binutils=C:/Users/vertig0/Downloads/binutils-2.42 on the other hand works as expected. Should there be a fixup for the path there so gcc can recognise it properly? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18915#issuecomment-2102146604
