Re: trouble cross compiling newlib (1.9.0) from linux to cygwin
> What is winsup?
"winsup" is a cvs module that contains additional runtime bits for
cygwin. It's src/winsup in the same cvs repository as src/newlib.
You can't build for cygwin (i386-cygwin32 or i686-pc-cygwin or
*-cygwin*) without winsup.

It's what you get from cvs when you don't specify a branch. The
revision name, if you need it, is HEAD (cvs checkout -r HEAD ...)
although it's the default. This represents the latest greatest
version of the software that the developers are currently working on,
and is not guaranteed to be stable or even usable, but it has every
available approved patch.
