Success! Cross Compiler Linux to Cygwin

[Tim Renner]

Glad the instructions could help :)

I built the cross compiler for 2.95.3, not 3.2, don't know if that will make 
a difference...  but I had the w32api installed, so when I brought over my 
include and lib directories from my Cygwin install to 
/cross/i686-pc-cygwin/, I ended up with two directories, 
/cross/i686-pc-cygwin/include/w32api/ and /cross/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/w32api/

and everything is working alright...    Does compiling and linking with 
-mno-cygwin work under your Cygwin install?
