That seems to be exactly the same as one of my logs, though it doesn't
cause an error.

That must have taken some time to track down, though I don't think
it's the root of the problem.

You could change the checksum.. just kidding. Can you send the full log file

 /home/userX/src/mingw-cross-env/log/gcc

you may need to compress it first. Also, could you send the output of:

gcc -v
