Ok, well. I would like to have the mingwce support in mainline, too. I
think, it is important to see all targets depending in someway on
mainline. And as past has shown, it isn't good to have isolated
branches, which aren't known and therefore will run out of sync.
While debugging and taking a look on mingwce, I was able to track some
problems in binutils down. As more targets there are, as much
knowledge we can get by them, which will improve the support of all
mingw targets IMHO.
As you are the maintainer of mingwce (IIUC) and you have a better
sight over the changes it needs, I think it would be best that you
could prepare the patches tosync it with mainline.
Cheers,
Kai
