Hi,
Last weekend I have been preparing my v9 patch set for the Mingw32 Guile
cross build, incorporating all comments that I got on v8 (thanks Andy
and Ludovic!).
I rebased onto latest master and made a script running some tests on
every single commit of the series, only to find out that after rebasing,
readline did not cross build anymore.
Since then I got somewhat closer but still do not understand what's
going on. When I revert
commit 28dc10a455689c807abc9241ed1094d902a9d9fa
Author: Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org>

gnu: glibc: Refer to the target kernel headers when cross-compiling.

;; This is the default for most architectures as of GNU libc
2.21,
then readline (and guile) can be cross-built for mingw.
However, with this commit present, when cross building readline on my v9
branch (https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix) like so:
./pre-inst-env guix build --target=i686-w64-mingw32 readline
this now triggers the build of gcc-cross-sans-libc-x86_64-linux-gnu
and gcc-x86_64-linux-gnu.
Building gcc-cross-sans-libc-x86_64-linux-gnu failed. I added a commit
to disable some libraries
+ "--disable-libvtv" ;x86_64-linux: needs libc
+ "--disable-libitm" ;x86_64-linux: needs libc
+ "--disable-libsanitizer" ;x86_64-linux: needs libc
and then both these cross compilers build. After that, still triggered
by the readline cross buld, it fails trying to cross build make-boot0,
like so
@ build-started

I don't know what direction to go now. Is this package also supposed to
be built or not? Why does it fail, should it be fixed? Should the
x86_64 gcc cross compilers get built, or maybe not? Why do they fail?
etc.
Any help much appreciated.
Greetings,
Jan
