Hi Mark,

I know what you mean, --with-sysroot and --with-local-prefix really
sound like they are what you want. The closest I could get was using a
spec file as outlined here:

http://www.mingw.org/wiki/SpecsFileHOWTO

$i686-pc-mingw32-cpp -v -specs=specs</dev/null
Using built-in specs.
Reading specs from specs

End of search list.

I've attached the modified spec file I used, the most important option
is -nostdinc. The only section I changed is the *cpp. I'd didn't get
to figuring out how to generate the file and putting it in the right
spot to be found automatically.
