Hi all, I am trying to build a mingw-w64 cross-compiler using the instructions outlined on the web.
Originally I was successful in building a multilib cross-compiler using GCC 4.5.0, but now I want to backtrack to GCC 4.4.4. This is because I found an optimization bug in GCC 4.5.0 that results in wrong code generation, making me now weary of using it. Alas, it appears that GCC 4.5.0 isn't as stable as one might think... I see from a mailing group thread http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00467.html that there is a way to patch the older GCC 4.4.4 so that it supports multilib. However, I could not find the patch itself on the thread, even though the poster alludes to such a patch working for him. Is there some way I can get a patch for GCC 4.4.x for this purpose? I also see that there are the "Personal Builds" under "Toolchain sources" on the site. Does this source distribution support multilib reliably? Perhaps I use a patch from here to provide multilib support on the stock GCC 4.4.4 distribution? I also see that there are a ton of patches in mingw-w64-src_20100427_sezero.tar.gz. Which are important for the proper function of GCC 4.4.x for mingw-w64 and which are icing? Ideally, I'd like to only apply what is critical for generating proper mingw-w64 target code, with multilib and unicode support. Again, I wouldn't be bothering with this if I had confidence in GCC 4.5.0, and at this point I can't wait for GCC 4.5.1 for my project. Thanks in advance!
