No, I didn't receive any reply.  But I'm suspecting that it was bad
timing on my part to ask just before Christmas.  Maybe I'll get a
better response with this one.  Does anyone have experience setting up 
a gcc tool chain for cross compiling to Windows CE?

Given your comments about CE for the Hitachi, I wonder about the
quality of the Microsoft tool chain for the StrongARM.  Does anyone
know?  If it's problematic I might decline outright its use in this
project.

Ray, can you send me the URL to the Microsoft "no solution" web page?
It could help justify the time in developing the gcc tool chain.

Thanks,
