You complain that modern distros are "too new" hardware, yet you run one in a VM. I do not see how this is mingw-w64 related. >> >> 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. >> > I am running GCC on the SuSE 11 in the VM.

Why not? Either it works, or it does not.
