Did you read the cygwin man page for mount, and see what the -X option does?

Also, in case you hadn't noticed,
I think Christopher didn't mean for you to use those
exact mount commands literally.  You probably need to adjust them.

Let's see.  I don't have Cygwin handy, but reading
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount
I gather you'd want to do something like
   mount -f -X 'c:\DATA\crosstool-0.29' '/cygdrive/c/DATA/crosstool-0.29'
   mount -f -X 'c:\DATA\opt\crosstool' '/cygdrive/c/DATA/opt/crosstool'
