I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of putting some of your email explanations and notes into the numpy wiki: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Mingw-w64-faq https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Mingw-static-toolchain Do you have anywhere a description of what you did to create your fork of the build process? Maybe we can automate this using a Fedora or other cross-compiler? I think we need to make sure that the build system need not die if you get hired by some great company and can't work on this anymore. Do you think that is possible? Thanks again for the all the hard work you've done here. I think we are getting very close to a good solution, and that has seemed a long way off until now...
