But during the update of MCE, there was a little problem I'm just

$ make update

Please note that "make update" is _not_ meant to be used by end users.

Upgrading package versions always requires some testing, and often
requires some hand-work, too. The "make update" mechanism is our
attempt to automate as much as possible of this nasty task. Usually,
a mingw-cross-env developer issues "make update" for all packages
(or just for some subset of it), fixes remaining issues, and uploads
those changes to the repository (or proposes it to the mailing list).

Off topic: Just out of curiosity; why didn't you guys use Portage for mingw-cross-env? It's pretty much made for exactly this kind of usage. And it would have allowed USE flags to configure the packages when building them ;-)
