That shouldn't be necessary.  It may have something to do with using 
F:\crossdev . I've never done a compile from a separate drive. Two 
things, you made that directory before starting the build?  It won't be 
made automatically. Can you supply the config.log of the failed build?

That was due to some extra spaces in after the \.  Fixed in the script.

Ya, I never added the g++ downloads.  Fixed as well.

I've just finished the dependencies here, now it's on to GDC itself. 
I'll push the update once I look into the TLS issue you mentioned.

"I also noted that one part of the tlsfix.patch gets rejected"

One question though, which patch exactly was it?  There are 5 different 
TLS patches.

tls-binutils-2.21.53-20110731.patch
tls-mingw64-runtime.patch
mingw-tls-gcc-4.6.x.patch
tls-mingwrt-3.20.patch
tlssup.c.patch
