Notes on building a gcc toolchain for Rtools (but not multilib)

Thank you for the update, Hsiu-Khuern. Can you check how many digits scientific notation shows? I was able to build a 64bit version of R using the mingw64 4.8.4 distro, but ran into trouble with compat.c, and the only work-around I found ended breaking R's defualt two digit notation and used Windows's three-digit notation; it seems as if you did not have this problem.
I get notation like "1e-09". I think (but am not sure) that there were some changes in mingw's stdio.h that got rid of the errors about redefined *sprintf functions.
Also, do you plan on running 'make check' eventually on your build?
I don't have any plans to do that, mainly for fear that I would find some problems and be sucked down the rabbit hole of trying to solve them! Hoping someone else more knowledgeable will take the plunge :)
