I just tried to reproduce your testcase and I see the problem. However, I don't blame the Fedora-MinGW toolchain for this, but just the fact that the AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 macro (provided by /usr/share/aclocal/glib-2.0.m4 / glib2-devel) isn't cross-compile aware. It provides an option called --disable-glibtest to disable the runtime tests, but it isn't activated when a cross-compile is requested. The test program itself which is used in that macro is also not platform-independent as it depends on a binary tool called 'touch' being be available on the platform which obviously isn't the case for Win32. The best place to get this fixed would be in glib2 itself, not here. Most (if not: all) other packages which use GLib use the PKG_CONFIG_CHECK macro to find out if glib is installed and whether the version of it is recent enough. It looks like X-Chat is just one of the few programs which has been using the AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 macro. AFAIK none of the packages in our MinGW toolchain appear to use this macro. Perhaps you might want to patch X-Chat so that PKG_CONFIG_CHECK is used instead of AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0.
