I did recompile both, and it seems to work in real MiNT, but not in
oTOSis, for some strange reason.

Oh, it was pretty simple. After changing configvars, it just compiled
very smoothly. One part in configvars that confused me a bit:

# Only used when cross-compiling:
# Define this to the size (in bytes) of a long double for your
# cross-compiler.  If you have an older gcc version it is probably
# 0x08.  It should be 0x0a (decimal 12) however.  If in doubt leave
# it as it is (i. e. 0x0a).
LONGDOUBLESIZE=0x0a

Decimal 12 is 0x0c, and after consulting the cross compiler, it should
be 12 (0x0c), not 10 (0x0a). Maybe this will solve all my problems. :)
I'll recompile and see.
