Using autotools has nothing to do with it.
Don't take this as beating a dead horse. I simply want to be clear on how you're building these toolchains so I use them as you plan to build/support them. I downloaded the "1.0 flavor" of mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_20110422.zip which uses 4.5.3. It acted like a cross-compiler and didn't recognize LIBRARY_PATH. Not a real problem as I simply switched to using CPATH, PATH, and LDFLAGS and stopped using LIBRARY_PATH. Things are great except for problems building OpenSSL :( However, I was a bit surprised when you said it's built as cross-compiler since, from my perspective, it's effectively a mingw32 flavored compiler targeting mingw32. Additionally, a friend that used the "non-1.0" (4.7.0-based snapshot) flavor claims the compiler honors LIBRARY_PATH. The key difference is that he manually removed the name prefixing from the executables before using rather than polluting the environment as I did. I haven't yet been able to verify that the non-1.0 (4.7.0) compilers honor LIBRARY_PATH while the 1.0 (4.5.3) compilers don't honor LIBRARY_PATH, but it's next on my list. Would you summarize how you expect the versioned (1.0, etc) automated builds and the non-versioned automated snapshot builds should behave wrt LIBRARY_PATH? Also, please explain why they're being built as cross-compilers as I'm not yet clear why they should be cross-compilers. Thanks in advance for your time on this.
