The following two patches are what necessitated the changes
in the instructions and the scripts:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-08/msg00122.html
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-07/msg01579.html

and I think the 4.0 sources do not have them. In that
case the old instructions should be used - that is,
forget about this sys-root business and just extract
mingw-runtime and w32api into the "$PREFIX/$TARGET"
folder (you will also have to remove the "--with-sysroot"
and "--with-build-sysroot" specifications from the
configure command).

I've not tried the above and I would be interested to
know if anything else needs to be done for GCC 4.0.x
and GCC 4.1.x.

HTH,
Ranjit.
