Error building PowerPC Toolchain with Crosstool-NG in Cygwin

[Rahul Iyer]

I recently built PowerPC cross compilers on cygwin using crosstools,
not crosstools-ng. I do have libncurses (10, 8 and 9) runtime
libraries (not devel), and crosstools doesn't depend on ncurses.

If your issue is still open I suggest you try crosstools.

It looks like it's trying to build in the Java support so I disable Java and it gets farther.  Then it fails installing DUMA so I disable that.  Then it fails building ncurses but I could find no way to disable that.

I know it's not an error in CT_DoExecLog itself because that is used extensively and the build gets over 3/4 of the way through.
