Hey, good catch.  I'll have a look next time I get a chance...
hmm, that's not worth much these days, but maybe somebody
else on the list will benefit.

You should start with all.sh (or demo-arm.sh) and just see how

by itself if you like.  Be sure to read doc/crosstool-howto.html, it has
notes on dealing with cygwin.
