This reminded me of my problem. I had exactly the same problem with my 
colleagues.
They wanted IDE + C++ support plus ... bla bla bla
Made me sick to my stomack but what can you do when you're junior developer.
I'm using buildroot. This is becouse of some other issues. Crosstool is 
also good
but I havn't build toolchain under cygwin with it yet.
I've downloaded cygwin and installed apropriate packages. Mainly 
development stuff.
Then you download buildroot acording to intructions on their site and 
build your toolchain.
There were couple of minor problems becouse of cygwin environment.
Mainly becouse executable files in cygwin are ended with .exe. So some 
scripts
had problems. Nothing you couldn't manualy solve.
My lazy friends use eclipse with this crosspackage now. Compiled files 
were tested
on the target and they work. Threading and everything. :D
