buildcrossbinutils.sh script produces i686-mingw32- binaries only (no
i686-cygwin-), and yet, FPC 2.4.2 cross compiles without any problem.
What is different about 2.5.1?<br>

Probably 2.5.1 contains assembler files, so it needs an assembler,
2.4.2 only pascal source fails, that the compiler can assemble.<br>
<br>
Maybe for 2.4.2 you don't need any binutils, except windres maybe.
Maybe windres is not necessary either and fpcres is used.<br>

i686-mingw32-as is present in the crossbinutils bin folder. But the
error concerns i686-cygwin-as...why would it ask for the assembler with
a i686-cygwin prefix?<br>
