Re: dll cross-compile, .libs/impgen is a win-exe, not a linux-binary

[Guido Draheim]

What is HOST_CC ? It has no default, and cross-gcc is the wrong cc.
Did now try with HOST_CC=/usr/bin/cc to get a working impgen.
Did not work either - look for the ".libs/.libs" part in the
output which is clearly wrong. 
There is no check, if the output is empty - it would atleast
contain the "EXPORTS"-line.
Sometimes it reads ".libs/impgen", somtimes ".libs/impgen.exe",
looks pretty inconsistent.
HOST_CC is only used with impgen, no other reference. IIRC, there
are plans to have more binary compile-tools, which leasd to the
question whether there are plans for automatic support of HOST_CC
(whatever that is anyway)
