I'm starting to get your point. The mingw32-pkg-config tool
should really be
renamed to i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config so it can be found by ./configure
scripts without manually fiddling the environment variables. We can do such a
change without any side effects. However, if we want to use the sysroot part
as mentioned in bug 513826 we need to perform a complete rebuild of all
mingw32 packages.
Yes, that's why I filed a separate bug.
Another issue I'm afraid of is that binaries compiled using
Fedora's
i686-pc-mingw32-gcc can't be mixed with binaries compiled with MinGW's GCC
running in a wine environment (or that strange side-effects are introduced,
possible due to bugs in wine)
That would be a bug. One more reason to try what I'm doing. :-)
I think of FORTIFY_SOURCE as an aid to detect bugs in
libraries/programs. I
can't think of any reason why this feature should be dropped.
Fine by me.

problems.
IIRC, this parameter has became on by default in recent versions of GCC (I
don't have a link to confirm it right now).
Unfortunately I checked the upstream sources and it's not.
The cache file is only really needed for the glib2 package because
some
./configure runtime checks are really required
You should use CONFIG_SITE for this too.
