Hello,

Working on getting Ruby 1.8.7, using branch ruby_1_8_7 at revision 28669 is not possible to cross-compile it.

Configure process completes perfectly, but compilation fails:

$ make
rbconfig.rb updated
i686-w64-mingw32-windres --include-dir . --include-dir . --include-dir ../win32 msvcrt-ruby18.rc msvcrt-ruby18.res.o
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -O2     -DRUBY_EXPORT  -I. -I..    -c ../array.c
In file included from ../defines.h:186:0,
                 from ../ruby.h:37,
                 from ../array.c:15:
../win32/win32.h:154:8: error: redefinition of ���struct timezone���
/home/luis/mingw/w32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/include/time.h:260:8: note: originally defined here
make: *** [array.o] Error 1

compiler used: i686-w64-mingw32 (32bits mingw-w64 project) OS: Ubuntu.
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc (GCC) 4.5.2 20100802 (prerelease)

There should be a backport of the changes reported in bug #2587.

Cross-compilation of Ruby using MinGW is important for OSX/Linux developers to provide native gems for Windows.

Thank you.
