Hmm,

At the moment I would recommend a more complicated installation. 

After stage1 of the bootstrap process, you are asked to REMOVE the
following packages from your installation: 

gcc-core, binutils, gcc-mingw-core. 

They are only needed at the beginning; the bootconsole
is still cygwin based and 32bit. It's a mess to have several compilers,
archivers, assemblers, etc. in your PATH (most even with identical
names).

Perhaps even better would be to make a copy of
each /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-* program at this stage, so it's
granted that the unprefixed and prefixed version are identical. 
There are even inconsistencies during the compilation of ocaml. Some
tools are expected to be prefixed, some not. So you actually need both
around.

Some build instructions or upstream tarballs are only broken, because
they use hardcoded 'gcc' instead of "$CC" in their makefiles.

cu,
 andreas
