Yes, I am using the original target libraries and build a sys-rooted
cross-toolchains from it.
That's basically the same approach, you'd apply to building a native
GCC/binutils for hosts with closed source libc (e.g. commercial *nixes).
What i did was rebuild the mingw32 and w32api from the source, and was
wondering how you solved the circular dependencies, of course when using
the binaries there is no circular dependency :-)
