I have a little bit exotic problem: When I try to compile warzone2100 for Windows (target mingw32) the buildprocess stops in the linking stage, when ld segfaults. I was able to narrow the cause to this code snippet: #include <AL/al.h> int main() { alGenBuffers(1, 0); } Compiling that with mingw32-gcc -o test test.c -I./devpkg/include -L./devpkg/lib -lopenal32 will cause in ld segfaulting. The devpkg can be obtained from http://download.gna.org/warzone/development/warzone-devpkg-mingw32-20070816.7z The -lopenal32 it links against is the OpenAL32.lib from Creative's OpenAL 1.1 SDK. (http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=45) Changing the gcc (4.1.2 or 4.2.0) or ld (2.17 or 2.17.50.0.17) versions doesn't help. The problem may or may not be Gentoo related. I would be glad if you can redirect me to the proper place in case it is not Gentoo specific.

PS: The problem did not occur on my x86 system, so I assume that the issue is related to the system now being x86_64.
I now took the OpenAL32.dll from the Creative SDK and created a .a static archive from it: winedump spec -C -I ".wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/OpenAL\ 1.1\ SDK/include/" .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/OpenAL32.dll winebuild -w --def -o libopenal32.def --export OpenAL32.spec mingw32-dlltool -k -d libopenal32.def -l libopenal32.a This linker archive works, so I assume that the problem is caused by the .lib format on x86_64 systems.
Same issue with cross-mingw32/binutils-2.17.50.0.18.
Could you try with newer versions of binutils? We are all the way up to 2.19.1 now :)
