[Mingw-cross-env-list] Problem installing mxe: bfd does not compile. Solution proposed

[Marc Lavallée]

Hello.
I'm new to mxe.
I hope it can help me create Windows version of my Linux programs.

I tried to install mxe, but the "bfd" package did not compile.

This patch to binutils fixed the problem for me (I use texinfo 5.2):
https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds/blob/master/patches/binutils/binutils-2.23.2-fix-docs.patch

I downloaded it to the mxe/src folder and renamed it to:
bfd-1-fix-docs.patch
And just in case, I also copied it to:
binutils-1-fix-docs.patch
