gcc build fails in cygwin when making a cross compiler

[Ryan Churches <ryan dot churches at gmail dot com>]

Hello all,
i've used distcc b/w linux boxes, thats no sweat.   i wanted to use it
on a windows, and i happened across a gentoo wiki for how to do just
that:   http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Distcc_server_on_Windows

we'll, i dont know if im going about it the right way or not, but im
up to the part where im supposed to build gcc on cygwin (down near the
bottom), but that fails

here's what it says:

out of the box, cygwin and distcc didnt work but i didnt expect it to.
 the buidl would get distributed but fail.  i'll be the first to admit
im in over my head, but i'm hoping if i am able to finish with this
guide it will work.

my cygwin box has gcc 3.3.3, and my gentoo box has 3.3.5.
