Maybe the word "default" is too overloaded. But anyway, the thing is that Linux distros are not following the upstream recommendation of MinGW. > In Debian testing, mingw32 is configured with > --enable-sjlj-exceptions. mingw-w64 is configured without > --enable-sjlj-exceptions. > > But if we compile all code, including libraries, with one compiler, it > should be safe.

MinGW-w64 Sourceforge website is a mess but the personal build of sezero is good if you want to use it under Linux (or Windows). http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/sezero_20110510/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/sezero_20110510/ If you use Windows, then TDM64 is also good. http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download I use mainly TDM64 under Windows and the following build under Linux, http://code.google.com/p/mingw-w64-dgn/downloads/list -- Xiaofan _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
