What was the initial error?
Just the error that the first-level Makefile gives when it fails to build one of the targets:
[build] gcc

It's part of the mingwrt package and it doesn't really make sense for
the native ld to be linking it. Can you send a copy of log/gcc?
Right, this is what's confusing me... if it were happening when trying to cross-compile some other code it would imply something isn't setup correctly, but the only crt2.o on my system is in <mingw-cross-env-root>/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/crt2.o, and it's an "80386 COFF executable" (which google implies is a Windows format), not an ELF. I hadn't noticed that line about the log, it's attached.
The one thing I noticed immediately looking through the log, from the initial configure:

That may or may not be relevant, since the error specifically mentions /usr/bin/ld.
