building binutils on cygwin(win-98)

[vadraj kulkarni]

Hello friends,
I am facing a problem during configuring binutils program on cygwin(win-98).

I wanted some info regarding compilation of insight on cygwin on windows-98 platform. 
I am trying to compile binutils-2.13(infact for that matter other versions too) on windows-98. I am not at all able to comple the ../configure. It gives an assertion error after displaying below message.

"Checking for working autoheader..."

If i ignore above message, it hangs after below message.

"Finding the maximum length of commandline..."

Sometimes i don't get above message. At that time, application will hang after 
displaying belowmessage

"Checking whether to build static lib.....yes"



thanks & regards
vadiraj
