1. install mingw-gcc, mingw-gtk2, and non-mingw glib

Hmmm - I don't really care what happens when you install a "non-mingw glib". Use our mingw32-glib.

1. when given --host, Autoconf tries to run a program to determine if you're

cross compiling. If you have Wine installed the Windows executable are registered with the kernel binfmt_misc module and then you're not cross-compiling, or at least Autoconf doesn't think you are.

This is a real bug (with autotools). I've raised it with Jim Meyering some time ago. No one has found a good way to fix it, but the workaround is to kill Wine's binfmt_misc handler before running the configure script.

[Smalltalk]

Please take a look at how we built mingw32-ocaml.

{BTW this should be discussed on the mailing list, because discussing it in Bugzilla entries is hard to follow, and while there may be bugs, I'm not convinced there is a 1-1 correspondence between bugs and the four Bugzillas that happen to be opened now.}
