*checks*
Oops, I did grab it off SVN, not CVS...

It looks like what's happening is the environment isn't getting passed on to
the configure script - see below

The thing is, Binutils is installed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to compile
anything. At the moment, the only thing that won't build is SDL_sound. SDL,
SDL_mixer and the rest of the SDL stuff builds fine.

It is - gcc and as are in the same directory (C:\mingw\bin).

Most peculiar...

Thanks.
