Description Veit Devil 2021-08-07 22:09:31 UTC

Hi,

when building avr-gcc mingw32 toolchain for windows with gcc 11.2.0 and binutils 2.37 an error occurs during the build process of windows binutils.

error: unknown type name 'uint'
  78 | uint recursion;

A solution is to replace both "uint" with "unsigned" in the rust-demangle.c or to replace the file with the one of binutils 2.36.1.

If you continue building despite the error, files in /bin/ are missing later in the Windows build.
In /avr/bin/ some files are missing.
And the folder /avr/lib/ldscripts is missing completely.

Can you please fix this error? Thanks.
