In that case, try strace to see why it isn't starting.

Please explain clearly your goals. If you want your cross GCC to run on Linux, you should never be using cross binutils to build cross GCC in the first place. If you are really building cross gcc to target win64 hosted on Linux, please refer to <http://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-doc/howto-build/> for help on building. Its a bit old but should get you the basics, just forget about LFS, since most of it won't apply to mingw-w64 anyway. >>> Does anyone think I should install the crt earlier in the process?
