I can compile mintlib now in less than 20 minutes I think (though I didn't time it). For me, I did this: Compile binutils 2.18. Fails... Compile new mintlib with patches, install Compile binutils 2.18 .. fails again realize I am missing some patches patch up and compile again.. succeeds.. install Compile mintlib again with new binutils.. WORKS for me :) Need to free up disk space for gcc, but you guys have made some amazing progress. All of this is working pretty well perfectly for me :) Thanks, Mark
