We're not arch-enemies at all, but we are two completely seperate
"ventures". I'd think a merge of our efforts would be either a manual line
by line comparison or a rewrite using both our scripts as a base.

the updatesources.sh script isn't synced with the latest changes I made at
all. When I change to different gcc/binutils versions, I do it manually
between rebuilds. I'll see if I can take a look at this when I find the
time, but I can't promise anything useful :/ Patches welcome (after I get
the directories fixed to work with the recent changes)

Two more things:
 - a std::thread enabled toolchain has some issues still last time I tried
to test one. Especially other C++ stuff does not work well under the hood
when combined with posix threaded gcc and winpthreads and windows errors
(GetLastError etc). I will report on this once I find the time.
 - There is a makefilebuildroot in mingw-w64 svn (under experimental) that
might suit your needs right now. It downloads all sources and builds a full
toolchain through a single makefile. JonY on this list knows more about it.

Cheers,

Ruben
