Cross ld build problems

[JonY]

Hi,

I am using a recent git master branch copy and I am running into
problems when crossing from 32bit Cygwin to 64bit mingw.

I can produce this problem using configure options:
--build=i686-pc-cygwin --host=i686-pc-cygwin
--target=x86_64-w64-mingw32. The problem only affects 32bit -> 64bit PE
targets I think, 64bit Cygwin ld seems smart enough to skip 32bit
objects when crossing to 32bit Windows.

In the Makefile, default-manifest.o is a prerequisite of
ld-new${EXEEXT}, when linking ld-new, the native 32bit linker picks up
on the local default-manifest.o, which is 64bit and groks about an
unrecognized file format.

I think the fix is to compile it as default-manifest-new.o but install
it as default-manifest.o, though I'm not too familiar with the Makefile
to do this.

For reference, I am building off revision
acd6540d35178e9fd1a98110798eeb8f878656e4.
