openssl problems

[Farkas Levente]

hi,
while i try to megre the new openssl i found that even the current
mingw32-openssl packages generate a lot's of such warning during
make depend
and the same happend with the new version. is it normal? why it's looks
into the system's native header dir at all? it's genrated by makedepend
(which is part of imake) and probably generate useless information. in
this case shouldn't we have simple comment out make depend?

Generally a dependency warning wouldn't be a problem unless it
actually stops the package from building.  The reason is that such
dependencies are only useful when re-running 'make', and RPM doesn't
rerun make.

In this case stddef.h is a header added by the particular instance of
GCC being used.  I've no idea why it cannot find it, although the
correct one for cross-compilation would be this one, I think:

/usr/lib64/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.3.2/include/stddef.h

Anyhow, I'm pretty certain you can ignore this error.
