genlib is multi-target an in general only needs to be built for the build machine. So if you were to use it you would build it with the same compiler you are building your toolchain with. It does not need to worry about the target because it supports all of them with every build. The only scenario where bootstrapping this would be necessary would be for a canadian cross compiler ? It is not tied to a specific version of mingw-w64 so this should be possible. I have been dealing with clang and not gcc though so I haven't specifically been to worried about this setup On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 7:44 AM, Adrien Nader <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 03, 2015, Martell Malone wrote: > > Just to clear things up here. > > > > I intend to include the source into the mingw-w64-tools folder so > building > > for any host should not be a problem. > > > > As for the option I just would like a configure option in the crt to > force > > using it instead of dlltool. > > ./configure --use-genlib > > It should not affect the current building in anyway and can be enabled by > > choice. > > > > Does my explanation this make sense? > > That's how I had understood it. > > The difference I see is that binutils is already a build dependency and > is always the first step.
