Hello,

I'm trying to deploy a DLL to be run in a windows-based, embedded
device.  In order to compile it, I have used mingw w64.  The DLL works
fine on windows in a regular PC.  However, it fails to load when the
used from the device.  The reason is that the device has a MSVCRT.DLL
library that lacks some functions that seem that are expected in
programs compiled with mingw w64.  So far, __setusermatherr is not
defined there, and some more symbols might not be found in advance.

I thought of building a mingw w64 toolchain not relying on MSVCRT.DLL,
by using newlib instead, but I'm having trouble doing that: latest
newlib expects libppl=0.10 and the latter doesn't compile on my system
(but libppl 0.12 does)...  so I guess maybe it is better to seek for
advice on this list about having a mingw w64 toolchain whose produced
binaries don't rely on MSVCRT.DLL.  Specifically I would be interested
on seeing how other people build their own cross-compilers for embedded
systems, dealing with the libc issue.

Thanks,
