Hi,

I cannot get it working. My boostrap.log log shows me stuff like this

builtins.c:58:11: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory
  # include <sys/wait.h>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

My bootstrap line is:
env CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc ./bootstrap.sh 
--without-libraries=python --prefix=[...] --with-toolset=cc 
target-os=windows architecture=x86 address-model=64

I tried to specify the include path with 
CPATH=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include 
CXX=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ (which does contain the correct 
sys/wait.h) but that did not work as well.

Regards,
Simon
