Any bug report would be useless on 64-bits with a broken gcc. For
example the gdiplus tests fail, so any app that would use gdiplus
would potentially be broken badly, as can be witnessed by the failing
tests. I believe it's better to downward refuse to build there, than
to trace down bugs that don't really exist. If that requires patching
and rebuilding gcc for wine only so be it. I'll try to get the gcc
guys to accept the patch in the meantime. :)

Cheers,
Maarten

Do we want useless bug reports / wine test results? I agree that we
want as much people to compile wine64 though. Perhaps an acceptable
solution for now would be to mention that the current gcc is buggy and
let configure link to some easy to use script which can build a proper
compiler.

As there is no fixed gcc out there I'd rather see configure warn here
instead of aborting. We do want to make it easy for people to compile
Wine64.
