Problems to build a cross compiler under Linux

My knowledge of cygwin is very limited, but as you got the crosscompiler
installed correctly, technically speaking, it should all work.

ld can't find a cygwin library because the LD-PATH does not include your
$PREFIX/lib (or $PREFIX/i686-cygwin32/lib) directory.

Try this on the commandline and see if it does the right thing:

[prompt]$ /home/karimb/cross/build/bin/i686-cygwin32-gcc
-L/home/karimb/cross/build/lib hello.c
or
[prompt]$ /home/karimb/cross/build/bin/i686-cygwin32-gcc
-L/home/karimb/cross/build/i686-cygwin32/lib hello.c

So the cygwin crosscompiler knows where it can find the cygwin library.

I hope this helps,
Jan
