I don't know for sure but, if I remember correctly my many unsuccessful attempts at building on mingw32, using --prefix=/mingw makes these go away. I'd like to stress that there is not much testing of gcc trunk under i386-mingw32 with MSYS. The configury and build system is widely "broken" for that platform. FX
