Cross-compilers are like that.
The source for our mingw-gcc RPM, is actually the official FSF gcc release code. We don't use the mingw distributed gcc tar.gz because all their changes are now upstream. Our general goal in Fedora mingw is to have the mingw packages match the native versions. This is primarily so we don't have to mess around re-diffing patches for bug/security updates - we can just take all the patches from native RPM and apply them Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| _______________________________________________ fedora-mingw mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw
