After spending a little brainpower on this, I realized I might need *all*
the lib and include files, not just the ones for the cygwin base (libc etc.),
in case of circular dependencies, and so copied over my whole ~100MB from a
working cygwin install.  The compile now works, and I've successfully 
cross-compiled ed.

This leads me to a question, though; say a new version of cygwin (with 
libs and headers) is released and I put the new files in
/cygwin/i686-pc-cygwin/{lib,include}.
Do I need to do anything to the cross-compiler, or will it just automatically
link to the new files? 

(I know, I should just wait and try for myself, but I'd like some expert
advice from the list.)

Thanks.
