fnmatch is present in libitery.a. Because of these problems, I mentioned
this in http://geany.uvena.de/Support/CrossCompile#libiberty

And I also mentioned the fnmatch when I wrote:
"After that, you should have an executable in the src directory named
geany.exe. If you got some linker errors like undefined reference to
`_fnmatch' or undefined reference to `_lrealpath', you need another
version of libiberty."

Unfortunately, the link to the working libitery.a.gz was broken but I
fixed it and it should work again.

And I added your fix_pkgconfig.sh script on the cross-compile wiki page,
thank you.

Well, I got my cross-compile setup working again and committed a bunch
of changes. It's probably not yet perfect but it should be better:
- some optimisations in src/Makefile.am
- synced the list of Windows libraries to link against with the ones
from makefile.win32
- removed unnecessary -I /usr/local/cross-tools from
scintilla/Makefile.am
- I had to replace $(host)-windres with $(host-alias)-windres. The
variables have the following values on my system:
host = i386-pc-mingw32
host_alias = i386-mingw32
So, $(host)-windres would be i386-pc-mingw32-windres but we need
i386-mingw32-windres (without the "pc"). I'm not sure how portable this
is, please test it whether it works on your machine.


There is still some more work needed in plugins/Makefile.am which isn't
doesn't build any DLl's at all at the moment.


Regards,
Enrico
