Re: Building an ARM GCC cross compiler under Cygwin

Hello Malcolm.

Is gcc 2.95.2 acceptable? If so, I can email you a document that basically 
describes how to do it. I have never been able to build any version newer 
than 2.95.2 under cygwin; there are _always_ bizarre errors. Red Hat 
documents a process on their eCos pages (sources.redhat.com/ecos) but this 
process doesn't work properly in a couple of respects, even for 2.95.2.

I have received some email, and a script, from someone who has managed to 
build 3.0, but I haven't yet been able to test it.

Me too :).
