has somebody else experienced the same problem? or is the build working on other platforms?
Yes that is the state of play with gcc-4.1.1, do you need 4.1.1 or can you use 3.2.3?

my idea was to include gcc4 as alternative into the windows installer, keeping the 3.2.3 as default. but advanced user could try and test the new version.

The way the current GCC 4.1.1 code interacts with binutils to pass device information is different from 3.2.3, so you would need two binutils packages as well as two GCC packages in the installer. The new way of interacting seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I think it was a bad choice. Despite the need to add every new CPU to the tools, my vote is to keep with the scheme we use in 3.2.3.
