The problem with collect2 is that it has POSIX calls which of course doesn't 
build for host=mingw32 (Windows). The patch above takes care of this.

FYI, there is a GCC bug report about this:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14316>
One of the comments has a collect2 patch for 3.4 by the same author as the one 
above, Dave Murphy.

Please note that the other major problem that you probably will run into has to 
do with fixincl. Again, it's the same problem, fixincl has POSIX calls which 
don't build for host=mingw32. Depending on which target you're building for you 
may not even need to run fixincl. There is no standard solution for this yet.
