Problems during configuration according MinGW and RTEMS!

[Stefan.Pusl at comneon.com]

Hello,

I read in the document "Getting Started with RTEMS" (chapter "Using
MS-Windows as a Development Host"), that I have to provide a cc program
by default. So I tried again with the command:

ln -s i386-rtems4.7-gcc.exe cc.exe 

As I understood from MinGW, "i386-rtems4.7-gcc.exe" is my nativ
compiler. But I got the same problem:

sh ../rtems-4.6.99.3/configure --enable-rtemsbsp=posix

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

'../../../rtems-4.6.99.3/tools/build/configure' failed
 for tools/build

Why? Don't do this - This simply wrong.

"gcc" is supposed to be your native compiler, while "i386-rtems4.7-gcc"
is a cross-compiler targetting i386-rtems4.7. They are completely
different beasts.
