Andrew,

I see that a Cygwin GCC 4.1.0 for ARM is available precompiled at 
gnuarm.com.

I don't think this will help though.  Here is a quote from an ARM 
document, available at
http://www.arm.com/pdfs/DUI0155E_rvi_user_guide.pdf (November 2005).

"The CodeSourcery GNU Toolchain for ARM processors commands are prefixed 
with arm-none-eabi-, for example arm-none-eabi-gcc.  This toolchain is 
compliant with the Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the ARM 
Architecture (base standard) [BSABI].

The GNU ARM toolchain commands are prefixed with arm-elf- for Windows 
and arm-linux- for Red Hat Linux. For example, arm-elf-gcc and 
arm-linux-gcc. This toolchain is not compliant with the ABI for the ARM 
Architecture.

Tom.
