Cross-compilers must have prefixes. If they don't, it's a bug. Native toolchains are not required to have prefixes, but may have them (this works because autotools knows about prefixes and can use the right tools even if you're not cross-compiling). So, if mingw-builds provides cross-compilers, the lack of prefixes is a bug. If mingw-builds provides native compilers, the lack of prefixes is not a bug, it's a quirk. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org
