No. Sorry. The whole toolchain is targeted at producing Windows CE PE binaries. You'll always need gcc and binutils built with --target=mingw32ce/cegcc/pe. And, we have important gcc/binutils changes in our tree that haven't still been submitted upstream, so building a vanilla gcc from gcc.gnu.org will 1-probably won't build 2-produce broken binaries Please realize that most of these toolchains will be either just vanilla GNU sources (with probably a few patches that haven't been submitted upstream due to timing constrains, etc), pre-built for easy instalation, and with the possibily of having professional supporting contracts backing them up. or, pre-built packages for easy instalation in some OS or linux distro. > 1.
