MSYS2 build: header file missing

[Robin Müller]

If I understand correctly, the BSPs can be installed with waf only if the
tool suite for the given architecture has been installed.
Problem is, the RSB build will fail even if a tiny component is
problematic.
I thought the tool suite itself is installed using the build commands
required by the sources (make, automake, etc).
Is it possible to also build these sources with waf?

I have tried this cross compiling on linux for windows (I used x86_64
instead of i686) because everything was working on Linux, but there are
issues with the SIS tool for sparc-rtems6..
But SIS is now also problematic on the Windows machine where I almost
managed to build everything.

Everything except SIS was built by the RSB and I copied the installed files
manually to install them and tried to build a BSP (is there actually some
script like do-install which will perform this step?)
But now some RTEMS tool is missing (rtems-bin2c):

In general the build process on Windows seems to be more "brittle" than on
Linux, so maybe installers would be a good idea? I generally installed
cross-compilers (e.g. arm-none-eabi-gcc) on Windows
using installers (for example https://xpack.github.io/arm-none-eabi-gcc/)
and have made very good experience with that.

Kind Regards
Robin
