Bootstrapping Cygwin 1.5.25

Hi all,
Thank you in advance for any help. I want to bootstrap cygwin and gcc,
from cygwin.
The documented procedure for bootstrapping a system has been documented
in many places and has amounted to the following:
1) Install libc headers (in cygwin's case, from the
"cygwin-{version}-src" package).
2) Compile and install binutils.
3) Compile and install gcc (compiling only c).
4) Compile and install libc (in cygwin's case, from the
"cygwin-{version}-src" package).
5) Compile and install gcc again, but compiling all the user desired
languages and using the compiled libc.
So that I do not hurt my existing cygwin install, I configured
everything with the following flag:
"--prefix=/opt/crosstool --with-sysroot=/opt/crosstool"
Problems:
For step 1: Cygwin doesn't appear to have a make target to only install
headers, is this this true?
For step 4: If I manage to use precompiled headers for steps 2 & 3,
cygwin-{version}-src failures during "configure" in step 4 because the
configure expects a test program to be able to link with "crt0.o". To
have a copy of crt0.o already, defeats the purpose of bootstrapping the
libc ( cygwin-{version}-src) package.
How other people work around these issues for compiling gcc (even when
hosting from linux) is by using precompiled cygwin headers and libs.
But, as you may have gathered, I want to bootstrap cygwin, not download it.
I have tried bootstrapping many different combinations of the following,
making sure my system was clean after each iteration:
cygwin: 1.5.25-7, 1.5.25-11
gcc: 3.4.4, 3.3.2, 3.3.6 , 4.1.1, 4.3.0
binutils: 2.16.1, 2.18
With the cygwin system versions appended after my signature.
Thanks again for any direction,
~Robert
