It does. I don't quite understand your objections. You seem to imply that my patches try to do something mysterious, but they don't. You build a standard canadian, three staged, as usual: configure/make/install linux-linux-mingw configure/make/install linux-linux-arm configure/make/install linux-mingw-arm None of my patches is actually complicated or adds any new feature. They only fix bugs which hinder to build canadian crosses the right way (TM). Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Project Co-Leader Red Hat
