The question you are asking is basically why that xgcc command did not find the 64-bit crt file. As a first step, I'm trying to verify that it is configured to look in the expected directory. That is, that it is configured such that -m64 causes it to append ../lib64 to the -B and -L paths that are passed to it. Can you confirm that the 64-bit crt file is in one of those directory, e.g., /home/niXman/mb-0.8/../mingw-x32/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/../lib64 ? Ian
