  Well, if those were the little problems, there's still one more huge big
vast insurmountable problem coming your way:  mingw/msys don't work with
glibc.  They use the windows system libraries to provide C runtime support
instead.  Since crosstool (IIUIC) assumes your target is a glibc-based target,
this isn't going to work.

  There's a better option for msys/mingw than trying to shoehorn it to fit
into crosstool's model: a dedicated mingw cross-development environment build
script, available at:
