Hey, Matt.

I was concerned by comment #4 at the bug-report web-site[1].  By
co-incidence, the reporter happens to have done some PXE work involving
PXELINUX and other interesting things[2]. :)

Hmm.. are you sure about that? As I understood it, the issue is that the
default command-line options for the mingw compilers was changed in GCC
4.7. Syslinux-4.06-pre11 was built on a Fedora 17 machine which includes
GCC 4.7, but the only breakage I heard of was in the win* installers -
the rest of the code builds fine.

The mingw compilers are only used to build the code in win, win32 and
win64, no?

Am I missing something?
