Also note that for building some targets for host=mingw, an additional fix/patch is needed for 
fixinc / fixinc.sh. AFAIK, there isn't (yet) a PR for this (I've been meaning to do this for a while). 
The targets that I know of that require a fix are avr and m68k, but there could very well be 
others.
