Compiling GDC-MinGW

[Daniel Green]

The crossdev directory is important because GCC is being called natively 
and it allows paths to match up.

Otherwise /crossdev becomes /mingw/msys/1.0/crossdev which causes all 
sorts of mayhem.  That said, as long as you are building on F:\ it there 
shouldn't be an issue.

I think this and the issue with tls-mingwrt.3.20.patch may be related. 
It applies cleanly here.

How is your git version designed to handle line endings?  A patch that 
different between Unix/Dos can fail to apply even though they are identical.

I also didn't run into an issue with options.c . May also, be a patch 
getting misapplied.  Unless changed during installation msys-git will 
checkout all files as Dos line endings.
