Hello,

First of all, congrats to myself for being able to at least compile
 <subject>.

The reason for this post is that I have needed to do some "weird" things (it
seems that way to me) to get it going.

I'm working on debian 2.2 with gcc 2.95.2.

I downloaded binutils-2_12_90-20020518-1-src.tar.gz,
 mingw-runtime-2.0.tar.gz, w32api-1.5.tar.gz, gcc-3.1.tar.gz.

1. mkdir build-binutils
    cd build-binutils
    ../binutils-.../configure --prefix=<prefixdir> --target=i686-pc-mingw32
    make

-> I got an error here on line 517 of ld/pe-dll.c on the function stricmp(),
so I changed it to strcmp()....; at least now it compiled, but Iguess it's
not supposed to be patched in this way in order to work ?

    make install
    export PATH=<prefixdir>/bin:$PATH

2. attempt to create bootstrap compiler
    mkdir build-gcc
    cd build-gcc
    ../gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=<prefixdir> --target=i686-pc-mingw32
    --without-headers --with-newlib --enable-languages=c

 -> although I specified --without-headers, this bumps on the first time xgcc
      is used looking for target-specific headers, so I untarred
 mingw-runtime and w32api into <prefixdir>

3.  Redundant attempt to build w32api
     mkdir build-w32api
     cd build-w32api
     ../w32api-.../configure --target=i686-pc-mingw32 --prefix=<prefixdir>
     make
-> building this requires i686-pc-mingw32-gcc    be called gcc (in
<prefixdir>/<target>/bin)

     make install failed....so I left it alone

4.  rm -rf build-gcc
     mkdir build-gcc
     cd build-gcc
     ../gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=<prefixdir> --target=i686-pc-mingw32
     --enable-threads --enable-languages=c,c++
     make

-> this failed again on xgcc "not being able to create executables". The
problem was that in this step, it could not find header files / object files
that I had untarred in <prefixdir>, so I untarred them a second time in
<prefixdir>/<target>. Is that normal?

    make install

I think I've got what I want now...

But


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    cout << "Blabla" << endl;

    return 0;
}


Running this through i686-pc-mingw32-g++ -o test.exe test.cc [-mwindows]
 gives

/temp/cross-gcc/package/usr/local/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-min
gw32/3.1/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libstdc++.a(c++locale.o): In
 function `ZSt14__convert_to_vIxEvPKcRT_RSt12_Ios_IostateRKPii':
/temp/cross-gcc/build-gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/libstdc++-v3/src/c++locale.cc:90:
undefined reference to `strtoll'
/temp/cross-gcc/package/usr/local/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-min

So either it is not built correctly, or I missed a cmdline switch (library?)
 ? Remember that I just untarred the prebuilt w32api and mingw-runtime (which
 were probably built for 2.95.3)...Is this the problem
