Where's the Cross-GCC FAQ ?

[Dave Nadler]

Hi Yann & All - I am in need of building a cross-compiler for MIPS 
(PIC32MX), with host and build environment cygwin using gcc 3.4.4. Also, 
bare-metal libraries, including C++.

 From the crosstool-NG I understood that cygwin is not supported, hence I 
was looking at Dan Kegel's tool - where I find a bunch of broken links.

Would trying a current GCC 4.xxx under cygwin with crosstool-NG be a good 
idea or a hopeless exercise in frustration ? It would be much easier under 
linux than cygwin I know, but cygwin is going to be much more practical for 
users of this toolchain at the moment.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Best Regards, Dave
