   Hi Jan,

  This is a mangled error message; what it's actually trying to say is 
something along the lines of 

"error: <filename>: found character <CR>.  At file position: 139",
but when it prints the CR it does so literally and the second part of the
message has overwritten the first!

  This happens a lot in cygwin, owing to the DOS-vs-Unix line end problems.
You can either run a dos2unix utility over all the source code after you
unpack it, or you can make a textmode mountpoint for the directory where
it's unpacked and reference it through that mountpoint.

  So after the cd ../m68kgcc, you want to try something like

    mkdir /gcc-src
    mount -t `cygpath ../gcc-2.95.3/` /gcc-src

And then use /gcc-src/ as the path to your configure command:

>1) configure --target=m68k-coff --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-newlib
>--with-included-gettext --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

  You definitely need *all* of this.  The "--with-included-gettext" and the
"mv -i texinfo old.texinfo" only make sense if you do them both together in
any case, and the "--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib" are all true,
so you should use a command like

/gcc-src/configure --target=m68k-coff --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-newlib
--with-included-gettext --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

  That should get things started for you.  Let us know how it goes.
