Thank you very much for the fast response. That seems to solve that issue.

Currently I try to compile with the following shell script:

-------------------------------------------------------
LANG=C
rm -rf build/
./configure ABI=32 CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 --disable-longdouble
--enable-libatomic=included --prefix=$(pwd)/ecl-host
make
make install
export ECL_TO_RUN=$(pwd)/ecl-host/bin/ecl
rm -rf build/
./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=$(pwd)/ecl-win32
make
-------------------------------------------------------

(Adopted from the 'crosscompile for android' section. Do I need to set
--with-cross-config to something? There is only a file for android.)


The ecl-host builds well.
In the crosscompiled version, it seems that it runs the ecl for the
*target* system, which doesnt work at some point (I can provide the
complete build log, if necessary, that is just the end, where the error
occurs):

The build *does* complete, if I copy ecl_min from the ecl-host build to
the build dir:
cp ./ecl-host/lib/ecl-16.1.2/ecl_min ./build/ecl_min.exe
cp ./ecl-host/lib/ecl-16.1.2/ecl_min ./build/ecl_min
after the first 'make' failed and build it (using 'make') a second time.
Have I just set a variable wrong (ECL_TO_RUN should be okay? Do I need
to set anything else?)
