Problems to build a cross compiler under Linux

[Karim BERNARDET]

thanks for your help !
I have "succesfully" build this compiler using mingw and mumit khan 's explanations (http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-cross) but for a simple hello.c, the size of the binary is huge : >400 K !!!
I got a binary version of this compiler (from
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/mingw32-linux-x86-glibc-2.2.tar.gz) and the size of the binary produced with hello.c is only 16 K !!!!

I have used :
binutils-2.13.90-20021006-2-src.tar.gz
gcc-3.2-20020817-1.src.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-2.2-src.tar.gz
w32api-2.0-src.tar.gz
