building a cross compiler under MinGW snag in collect2

Ugh, isn’t that annoying? Well it turns out from the mailing list…

The mingw32-hosted GCCs does not need ‘collect2.exe’ hence
set USE_COLLECT2= nothing (empty) in the <gcc_obj_dir>/gcc/Makefile

This needs to be fixed in GCC mainlne.

And the other half….

fixincl.c:316: error: `SIGQUIT' undeclared (first use in this function)
fixincl.c:316: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fixincl.c:316: error: for each function it appears in.)
fixincl.c:323: error: `SIGALRM' undeclared (first use in this function)
fixincl.c: In function `internal_fix':
fixincl.c:808: warning: implicit declaration of function `pipe'
fixincl.c:816: warning: implicit declaration of function `fork'
fixincl.c:845: warning: implicit declaration of function `sleep'
fixincl.c:860: warning: implicit declaration of function `fcntl'
fixincl.c:860: error: `F_DUPFD' undeclared (first use in this function

Which is fixed by changing

STMP_FIXINC = stmp-fixinc

into

STMP_FIXINC =

Oops!
