We have a cross-compilation problem in general right now, no? Thinking a little about this, I would think that you would need a C cross-compiler, and a Guile cross-compiler. So Guile's build needs a way to specify a Guile to use during the build process. > I'll leave the wip-1-8-mingw-build branch in the repository, in case > it's of interest, and because I don't know if branches can be deleted. To delete, git push origin :wip-1-8-mingw-build.

It would only be for purposes of gitweb/cgit, I don't think git has this concept. Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
