Cross-compilation to MinGW broken on core-updates

Cross-compilation to MinGW broken on core-updates

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Jan & all!

Bash fails to cross-build for i686-w64–mingw32 on ‘core-updates’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gcc  -DPROGRAM='"bash.exe"' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='"i686"' -DCONF_OSTYPE='"mingw32"' -DCONF_MACHTYPE='"i686-w64-mingw32"' -DCONF_VENDOR='"w64"' -DLOCALEDIR='"/gnu/store/v5rh1ypnn49m6qm6rrvwjvaiclfyqssc-bash-4.4.12/share/locale"' -DPACKAGE='"bash"' -DSHELL -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I.  -I. -I./include -I./lib -I./lib/intl -I/tmp/guix-build-bash-4.4.12.drv-0/bash-4.4/lib/intl  -g -DCROSS_COMPILING  -g -DCROSS_COMPILING -o mksyntax.exe ./mksyntax.c

Ideas?

TIA,

Hmm.  Did bash successfully cross build to i686-w64–mingw32 before?

Good question, I’m not sure!  I thought it was a prerequisite for other
things, but maybe not.

Probably not a blocker, but something nice to have.

Yeah, then it needs to be ported.  Bash is probably not trivial.  I only
looked at hello, guile and the lilypond stack (still waiting for some
love and integration).

Sure.  Bash is a pretty convenient interface to fork/exec/pipe, having
that on MinGW would be quite something ;-)
