I looked around found another gcc and such in /usr/local/mingw32crt and
/usr/local/mingw32msvc and I couldn't remember why those were there or what
they might belong to so I removed them. They weren't in my path anyways and
even after removeing them I still couldn't compile.

I removed everything having to do with development (binutils, make, gcc,
automake, autoconf, ...) And then reinstalled those and compile back
operational. I have no idea what crapped it though.
Thanks for the help
