We are about to branch so I was waiting for that to rebuild. A post 
was/is coming after I have branch tagged installers made. I need to 
upload from here to the ftp site so I am trying to keep the number of 
uploads to a minimum.

The tools are all built on Linux including the installers. You can find 
the scripts and installer code in 'contrib/mingw'. It uses Ralf's 
crossrpms package to do the actual tools build. A couple of minor issues 
(hacks) exist with the build process that I am attempting to sort out. 
The Wiki page assumes the newer release I have.

They should work. Let me know if they do not.

I have a newer version with installer changes adding things like a GPL 
license accept in the installer as well as being included in the files 
installed, plus a range of batch files and scripts that are installed to 
help using the tools such as building in things like Visual Studio.

At the time I generated the ones on the ftp site autoconf/automake where 
not in crossrpms and they have been added since. I have not caught up. 
GDB is also missing.

I have built a m68k multilib RTEMS on Windows with the tools in a cmd box.
