[ECOS] building binutils under Cygwin fails

[Grant Edwards]

Title: building binutils under Cygwin fails






I followed the instructions at 


     http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/win-arm-elf.html


pretty much to the letter under a fresh installation of the current net
release of Cygwin, and the binutils-2.10 build fails (it builds fine under
Linux of course, but the application programmers are dead set on using
Winders as their development platform -- may god have mercy on their souls).


Anybody have any ideas?  


Building a native binutils under Cygwin fails at the same point with
"bfd-i386-arch" (or some such symbol) undefined.


The tail of make.out is below:
