You're right. It's not just a docs problem though, but a bug in
Allegro's makefile: It ignores the XPREFIX. Setting XPREFIX to
i586-mingw32msvc- should work, since the Debian package has all the
binaries with that prefix in /usr/bin.
(Putting it on my personal todo. Or maybe we really should start using
the SF bug tracker?)
