Message 180695 - Python tracker (original) (raw)
However, we must go further and add that the patches cannot break any other native or cross-compilation, which - as I think Matthias is alluding to - is probably not the case with your patch. This issue is called "cross and native build of python for mingw* hosts",
no, I just didn't check. And I probably won't check. However it's more likely that your patches are accepted if e.g. it doesn't break the normal Windows build and an unrelated build, e.g. for a Linux target.
Maybe you could even separate the patches into a patch supporting a native mingw build and a cmingw ross build?
