elf-attrs.c compliation errors

[Bill Morgan]

Hello,

I'm building this commit: 33633d9f5b138a211405d482436db2f7661b190e

With this configuration:

./configure \
    --build=x86_64-w64-mingw64 \
    --host=x86_64-w64-mingw64 \
    --target=arm-none-eabi \
    --with-python \
    --without-tcl \
    --without-tk \
    --without-guile \
    --with-expat \
    --with-lzma \
    --with-system-readline \
    --with-zlib \
    --enable-tui

I am getting the compilation errors below:

I also get this error when trying to build on Windows.  I installed 
mingw-w64 using the installer found here:

http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds

I just noticed that the host gets auto-detected as "x86_64-pc-mingw64" 
(same as you specified explicitly).  I see that when building on mingw, 
-Wno-format should be added, specifically ignoring these warnings:

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=bfd/warning.m4;h=5a7f92d61622c6a0934aa950f8aaa6bf55677d43;hb=HEAD#l75

However, it's only done when the host string contains "mingw32", not 
"mingw64".  Maybe this needs to be adjusted to "*-*-mingw*"?  If you 
grep, you'll find a bunch of other things conditionally done if the 
triplet is "*-*-mingw32*", maybe they need to be adjusted too?

Thanks for confirming.

I noticed that the mingw-w64-gdb package is built with the mingw32 third
part of the triple.

https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/335af17a04df7481e80979eafbd134fef9de9a0f/pacman/makepkg_mingw64.conf#L49

I will use that configuration.
