Work around to enable changing the C++ linker [message #127706]

Using latest release (3.0.1 & CDT 2.0.2) on Linux (Suse) and a Managed Build
Project, I want to change the linker from g++ to mingw32-g++. However there
appears to be a bug (which I've reported) that crashes eclipse when you
select "C++ Build">"GCC C++ Linker" from Project>Preferences.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, do you have a work around?

I've tried editing .cdtproject to use mingw32-g++ but cdt just ignores the
change and if I change any other Linker options from Projects>Preferences
it changes it back to g++.

Thanks,
Tim

A work around involves editing .cdtbuild to contain something like:

<toolReference id="cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.cpp.linker"
command="mingw32-g++" outputPrefix="" outputFlag="-o" outputs="">
</toolReference>

Saving it, closing and opening the project.
