I would say this is a bad joke, if it wasn't real.

Why does D.L. Miles think that -enable-stdcall-fixup actually is a -e
...?  The documentation is clear:
http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.21/ld/Options.html#Options
(section 2.1.1) but these guys probably don't read it.

Should I complain upstream then?  I guess so.

But what is going on here? who is D.L. Miles and why is he changing the
win32-g++-cross files?  Aren't these files an addition made by this project?
