Subject: Crosscompiling Ruby on Linux for Win

Hi!
I naively tried to cross compile a Windows version on my linux box.
(Yesterday's snapshot.tar.gz)

$ ./configure --host=i586-pc-mingw32
....
checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... \
    configure: error: cannot check setpgrp when cross compiling

setpgrp is according to my man page a POSIX function, and thus it
is probably not available on Windows at all.

So what should I do here?
Is it possible to cross compile Ruby at all this way?

Another question: How do i compile Extensions (on Windows natively)
using mingw when i use the one click installer?

Thanks for any hints
Martin.
