trying to build a mingw compiler on cygwin

[Stephen Smith <ischis2 at cox dot net>]

I found the mingw files that I needed to go with the 2.95.2-6 compiler 
source that I have:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-mingw-extra.tar.gz 

To make sure that I am in compliance with the License (when I 
distribute) I wanted to make sure
that I could duplicate the compiling of the libraries.  Having emailed 
Danny Smith (several times)
I tried building with this script and then am getting the error  shown 
below that. 
Would you have a clue as to the solution to this problem

I have checked the gcc directory and a ./specs file is being built.  I 
am building on a cygwin platform
with all of the packages up to date except for the gcc package which is 
being held constant at version
2.95.2-6.

The script , error trace and spects file are all included in this message.

Thanks,
Stephen Smith
