Grischka,

Thank you for your patience with me!
I hope to be not too OLD :o) to test exactly what you propose.
I will test it using Cygwin64 and the <b>default</b> gcc (for Cygwin64).
I'll be glad to inform you if it works as expected (i.e. if it produces a working tcc that can generate both -m32/-m64 native Windows code outside cygwin environment).

C.

ONLY for people who not are already TOO OLD to type some configure
options or TO TRY something NEW or DIFFERENT, eventually:

# build a cross-tcc using standard cygwin gcc and install in X:

./configure --prefix=$PWD/X
make
make install
make distclean

# configure once for using that, anytime in future:

./configure --cc=$PWD/X/tcc --prefix=$PWD/W

# build a native windows tcc, optionally with -m32/64, run full tests,
and install as ready-to-use relocatable tree in W:

make
make cross-i386-win32 (cross-x86_64-win32 if on 32bits)
make test
make install
