Wow, great process, Colomban.
Reading your previous mail the -mms-bitfields thingy instantly came also
to my mind.

I checked the nightly builds as well the builds on my Windows VM, both
had -mms-bitfields set, also for PlatGTK.cxx.
This opton is set by gtk+-2.0.pc (GTK pkgconfig file), so it's obvious
both builds have it set.

But maybe it's related to the compiler version. The cross-compiled
nightlies are a bit special in terms of cross-compiling and that they
use a quite old mingw-gcc 3.4 while the mingw-gcc on my Windows VM is a
more recent 4.8.
I found http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html where a short note says:
Windows mingw targets are using the -mms-bitfields option by default.

I would say this is probably not relevant because we compile our code
with -mms-bitfields in all cases because GTK pulls it in.
But IANAC (I am not a compiler :D).


Does anyone here has by accident a Windows system with a mingw-gcc < 4.7?


I'll try to further debug this on the weekend if I find time.

Regards,
Enrico
