I've used the older successfully for some time, but I've been unable to 
build it.

The newer version works for me, but I have a few observations:

With the newer version, why does it install in a different location?

i.e. /usr/pkg/cross/bin/i386--mingw32-gcc (new) vs 
/usr/pkg/cross/bin/i386-mingw32-gcc (old)?

I note I now need -lstdc++ even with plain old C programs.
