OK.

That's actually the right thing to do. Alternatively you should set
the bin directory to use the x86_win32 bin for its tools.

This error occurs when trying to build the IDL compiler. You don't
want the IDL compiler to run in WinCE since you're cross
compiling.  You should set the EmbeddedPlatform make variable so the
tools are not built.

That's wrong, since you are going to run the wrappers on Windows, not
WinCE.

Wrong. See above.

I don't know, but it doesn't matter since you don't need to build the
wrappers.

I am not aware of anyone having done a WinCE port.
