When building libgpg_error with a target of i686-w64-mingw32.shared
the build fails with undefined references. In the make process for
libgpg_error an application is built and then run called mkheader.
This application is used to build the gpg-error.h file. In this
application there is a strcmp for 'mingw32' on host_os variable
which failes to be true when host_os contains mingw32.shared or
mingw32.static. The failure of this test keep w32-add.h from being
added to gpg-error.h, hence causing the undefined references errors.
This is an attempt to fix this issue, officially issue #677.

Many FTP servers block connections from Tor and some
VPN servers. HTTP servers don't do this normally.
Example of failed FTP download attempt of binutils-2.24.tar.bz:
$ torsocks wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.24.tar.bz2

Trying download from Tor Browser, I get error message:
425 Security: Bad IP connecting.
HTTP URLs were added to FTP URLs-only packages.
In many cases, ftp://ftp.gnu.org can be accessed
from http://ftp.gnu.org
If both URLs of a package are FTP, then one of them
was replaced with HTTP.
Command to check that those packages can be build successfully
if behind Tor:
$ torsocks make autoconf automake binutils bison cloog coreutils file freetds gcc gdb gettext gmp gnutls gperf isl libbluray libffi libgcrypt libgpg_error libidn libmicrohttpd libpng libxml2 libxslt m4 pthreads-w32 sed dcmtk mpfr
I've run the test above successfully.
Most of the automatic conversion was done using the following Python script:
import os
import re
pkgs = sorted(mkfile[:-len('.mk')] for mkfile in os.listdir('src') if mkfile.endswith('.mk'))
with open('index.html', 'rb') as f:
index = f.read()
pkgs_index = re.findall('<td class="package">([^<]*)</td>', index)
assert pkgs_index == pkgs
versions = dict(re.findall('<td id="([^"]*)-version">([^<]*)</td>', index))
assert sorted(versions.keys()) == pkgs
for pkg in pkgs:
version = versions[pkg]
with open('src/' + pkg + '.mk', 'rb') as f:
mk = f.read()
checksumpos = mk.index('\n$(PKG)_CHECKSUM ')
versionline = '\n$(PKG)_VERSION := %(version)s' % {'version': version}
newmk = mk[:checksumpos] + versionline + mk[checksumpos:]
with open('src/' + pkg + '.mk', 'wb') as f:
f.write(newmk)
Unsetting CONFIG_SITE was the right way to solve the problem that
--libdir was working around.
