Re: windres bug.



The problem is that windres expects to output not only RES files but
also COFF files (and linux is elf, not coff).  The RES files will be
the same as long as the endian and word sizes are the same, so cross
compiling from i686-linux to i686-cygwin won't matter.  Just don't use
the "-O coff" option :-)

If, however, you've discovered (or patched it so) that windres does
work with ELF output files, then the solution is to change configure
so that windres is built for those configurations which it supports.
Expecting the user to manually specify that it should be built doesn't
seem like the right thing to do; if it's supported for a given
platform we should just build it.
