Installing cygwin gcc using sources

can u tell more about what "make bootstrap" does.
I am not installing the entire cygwin from sources, but only "GCC".
Can u refer to me any document,if available, on installing "GCC" using sources on cygwin.

I tried to install "GCC" from sources on linux platform and it works fine without "make bootstrap".
The packages I used on linux are binutils-2.10 and gcc-2.95.2.

Why are you skipping "make bootstrap" ?  I don't know whether the
configure flags used to build cygwin are documented, but I usually
use --with-included-gettext --enable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-languages=
'c++,f77'.  David Billinghurst has been able to build objc and gcov as
well.

"configure" of gcc in the same path. The configure is fine. But when i
do a "make all" it throws an error message.
