wine users - Apr 2011 - Bootstrapping mingw GCC with wine on linux

Is it possible to bootstrap GCC+binutils on a linux machine using WINE?

MSYS is horribly slow, and a VM with linux is no more than twenty times faster
in the build process. The only thing a linux box can't do, is a "make
profiledbootstrap", which squeezes an additional 10-15% out of the final
binaries.

Thanks

Try it and see.

You can't build a gcc toolchain in wine that targets linux because
some of the source files are identical except for case.
That's unlikely to be a problem when building a mingw toolchain.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but these won't work when trying to do a
"native" GCC bootstrap on linux for mingw.

This seems like it might work better though:
