Thanks for the info/suggestions,

If this is the case, then there really should be some instructions  
somewhere in the docs.  The default .ini file includes both craft and  
gcc as equal options.

By the way - "craft clang" fails in the same way - probably because it  
is trying to install it using clang....  I'm wondering if I need to  
start with -gcc, then install clang, and then switch ABI back to  
clang.  I've already switched my install to gcc, so I'll have to wait  
until I have time to start in a separate instance to try this.  I guess  
it is because the base mingw install includes gcc, and not clang.
