Thanks!  I get several steps further now (cross) building mingw-runtime-2.4
and dlltool no longer crashes.

It doesn't finish yet, but I think that's because I've misconfigured gcc
to use ld instead of i386-mingw32-ld (I guess I need to use that since it'll
have other defaults than native ld).

Hmm, more work to do (for me).  But consider the crash fixed.

I was surprised, though, not to see bfd_error_file_ambiguously_recognized.
(binutils ./configure'd with --enable-targets=all)
