"couldn't find i686-pc-mingw32 directory" when building 20101215 snapshot

[Bruce Cran]

Hi,

I've been trying to rebuild cygwin from the 20101215 snapshot but
can't get past the error "couldn't find i686-pc-mingw32 directory". I'm
using gcc 4.3.4 20090804 on Windows 7 x64. To build it, I did the
following:

tar xjf cygwwin-snapshot-20101215.tar.bz2
cd cygwin-snapshot-20101215 && mkdir build && cd build
../configure --prefix=/oss/install -v
make

As well as running the build in the cygwin environment I've also 
tried it under MinGW using gcc 4.5.0 but it fails in the same place.
I found a previous mail about the problem at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00346.html but I've tried renaming 
the mingw directory but it keep failing. Also, I only have the single 
version of gcc.exe in my $PATH.

The build fails with:
