Not the one I'm using. Debian testing's cross compiler package i586-mingw32msvc-gcc chmod's its executable output to 0755. > RTEMS uses AC_LINK_IFELSE and MinGW cross-compilers fail this test.

But a cross compiler knows that it's a cross-compiler on a unixy $build, so in principle it could try, no? Anyway, let's see what compilers don't do this in practice, theory counts little here. > Is the 'test -x' suitable for MSYS and a cross-compiler ? Well, this is AFAIK the first bug report about this.
