For those like me who were wondering where Carlos's suggestion was,
it's at the end of Manoj's message:

That's a bit kludgy... why not use http://kegel.com/crosstool,
which builds gcc and glibc from scratch?  Or at least look at

crosstool doesn't quite build properly on cygwin yet, but it's quite close.
