I don't know about Andy, but I sure do -- and I can reproduce his
problem. I suspect there is a "bug" in how the cross tool locates the
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin
directory, given the mount structure:
/usr/bin = /bin
/usr/lib = /lib
BUT
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 != /x86_64-w64-mingw32
because if I do THIS:
mount -o bind /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 /x86_64-w64-mingw32
then
/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o foo foo.c
works, just as if I had invoked
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o foo foo.c
I say this is a "bug" in quotes, because...well, I'm not sure it fits
the definition. It's *our* fault we use a wacky mount structure on cygwin...
