That was steps 1-3 of the procedure that I outlined in my other mail:

 | For cross-compiling from Cygwin to Mingw:
 | - First, install the Cygwin version of Mercury, and put it in your PATH.
 | - Second, configure the source distribution of Mercury using
 |   --with-cc="gcc -mno-cygwin".
 | - Third, run "make" and "make install".
 | - Fourth, replace the following files in the installed Mingw Mercury
 |   directories with copies of the corresponding file from the installed
 |   Cygwin Mercury directories:
 |         mercury_compile.exe     (in <prefix>/lib/mercury/bin/<config>)
 |         mercury_profile.exe     (in <prefix>/lib/mercury/bin/<config>)
 |         mdemangle.exe           (in <prefix>/bin)
 |         mkinit.exe              (in <prefix>/bin)

Note that you need to have Cygwin installed, including the gcc and
mingw-gcc packages (and make, binutils, etc.).
