When I run "crossdev mingw32" and working around the stripping of w32api everything works fine till it comes to building of gcc-stage2. Error from the logs: checking for main in -lm... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

I've experienced something close to this problem when upgrading GCC in an existing cross-mingw32, to get around it I just started from scratch: emerge --unmerge cross-mingw32/gcc cross-mingw32/mingw-runtime cross-mingw32/w32api cross-mingw32/binutils Remove cross-mingw32 stuff from /etc/portage/package.keywords, package.use, categories rm -Rf /usr/local/portage/cross-mingw32 Then just rerun "crossdev mingw32" and it works. Unfortunately, I have no idea why though - possibly library breakage between versions.
that's a whole lot of effort ... why didnt you just run `crossdev -C mingw32` ?
would need the config.log to actually trace this down
