There are two problems here: 1) your binutils is not current. 2) your R is not current.
Updating either will solve this, but please update both. Almost up-to-date cross-compilers are (as ever) available from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/(If you want to compile R-devel you will need to update the mingw, which can be done from the i386 distribution. I will rebuild the cross-compilers in due course.)

Hello list, I would like to cross-compile R packages using R 2.4.0. I am working on Linux Debian and cross-compiled (windows binaries) without problems with older R version. I have used the doc of Yan and Rossini in the contributed section of the R documentation (same version of MinGW...). When I try to cross-compile R (make R), the procedure stopped and returns : ************************************ i586-mingw32-windres --include-dir ../include -i dllversion.rc -o dllversion.o i586-mingw32-gcc -shared -s -mwindows -o R.dll R.def console.o dataentry.o dynl oad.o edit.o editor.o embeddedR.o extra.o opt.o pager.o preferences.o psignal.o rhome.o rui.o run.o shext.o sys-win32.o system.o e_pow.o malloc.o ../main/libmai n.a ../appl/libappl.a ../nmath/libnmath.a graphapp/ga.a getline/gl.a ../extra/xd r/libxdr.a ../extra/zlib/libz.a ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a ../extra/bzip2/libbz2.a ../extra/intl/libintl.a ../extra/trio/libtrio.a dllversion.o -L. -lg2c -lRblas - lcomctl32 -lversion ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1703): undefin ed reference to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1740): undefin ed reference to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1848): undefin ed reference to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x187f): undefin ed reference to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1966): undefin ed reference to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' ../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1f2a): more un defined references to `__pcre_ucp_findprop' follow collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [R.dll] Erreur 1 make[3]: *** [../../bin/R.dll] Erreur 2 make[2]: *** [rbuild] Erreur 2 make[1]: *** [all] Erreur 2 make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /home/stephane/Rdev/CrossCompileBuild/WinR/R-2 .4.0/src/gnuwin32 » **************************************** I have read (http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/) that a bug exists for ld version 2.16.91 20050827 and that Prof Ripley produced a patched version. It seems that my problem is also related to ld (and I have the same version). So I wonder if the same bug could be responsible of the error in the cross-compiler. Two questions: - Are they other people which have the same problem when cross-compiling R on Linux - Is it possible that the problem is related to ld. If yes, is it possible to obtain a patched version ? Thanks in advance. Sincerely,
