  As it says, glibc is not available... for cygwin.  

  When you configure gcc as a crosscompiler, you use --target=powerpc-eabi
or whatever.

  But glibc is a native program for ppc; so you use the ppc compiler, and
say configure --host=powerpc-eabi or whatever.

  Did you configure glibc using --target (like gcc) instead of --host?  That
fooled me before.
