[ECOS] Compiling the ecos toolchain in Cygwin

["Shaun Jackman" <shaunj at gray-interfaces dot com>]

I'm not certain if this is the right mailing list for this, my appologies in
advance if it could have been directed better elsewhere.

I'm trying to compile a working gcc/insight/ecos toolchain to target an ARM7
board. The host is a Win98SE box running Cygwin.
I downloaded the binutils source, configured it for the target system, and
compiled it. no problems so far
I downloaded the gcc source and patched it with ecos-gcc-2952.pat and
configured it for the target system, then compiled it. I'm getting all sorts
of compiler warnings and errors though. here's a small sample (I have 70k
more just like it)

...

Any thoughts on this?
