To make things complicated, my understanding is that one has to know
that there are two MinGW projects:
- one hosted at mingw.org, which I think is the original project,
and does not look very active anymore;
- one hosted at mingw-w64.org, which seems more active and more
complete; I believe this is the version most users are now using.
Your cross compiler is probably using the same mingw package as
I am, which explains why both of us can't see the error that Eli
is seeing.
