New MingW 3.4 Build

[Rutger Ovidius]

Hello,

Unfortunately, because of the regression listed in PR 12548, gcc 3.3.1 is
still the best to use on win32 (in my experience anyway).  Trying to
compile boot.jar from eclipse 3 fails with 3.4 (20031109) (symbol already
defined), but works fine with 3.3.1.

I have tried your http://www.thisiscool.net/mingw32-gcc-scripts.tar.gz
scripts.  I followed them to the letter.  After many hours of
compiling, I noticed "pod2man is missing" errors, but the main
problem was that all my libs were still in .libs directories, rather
than in the wingcc directory
(wingcc_build/i686-pc-mingw32/libjava/.libs/libgcj.a for example).
I'm not sure if they are related, or something else went wrong.

Do you build on win32, or exclusively on linux?  Is Step 4 of your
readme required (building a cross compiler) or can a native compiler
on win32 be built in less steps?

Thanks.
