Cross compiler with cygwin

[Joe Humel <jhumel at intrinsix dot com>]

Hi.  I'm trying to learn how to build cross compilers with cygwin.

First I build and test a native compiler like this:

        ./configure
        make
        gcc hello.c
        ./a                                                             // Voila, it works.
                
Then I try to build a cross compiler like this:

        ./config.guess                                                          // result is i686-pc-cygwin32
        ./configure --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu  --host=i686-pc-cygwin32 // because I can test on i686-pc-linux-gnu
        make

The configure step completes without error, but make barfs after a while.  The carnage is pasted below.  Things start going south after the "blah, blah, blah" editorial comment that I added. 

Any help appreciated.
