Hi Dirk,
I found that if I set my directory structure similar to:
c:\root\bin
c:\root\usr\bin
c:\root\usr\include
c:\root\usr\lib
c:\root\usr\local\bin
c:\root\usr\local\include
c:\root\usr\local\lib
I put cygwinb19.dll, bash.exe and sh.exe in \root\bin
I put the other executables from the cygwin distribution in
\root\usr\bin
I put the cygwin includes and libs in \root\usr\include and
\root\usr\lib
I put the mingw32 distribution in \root\usr\local\bin ..\include ..\lib
I mount c:/root /
To execute with cygwin I make sure that the PATH has \root\usr\bin
first and point GCC_EXEC_PREFIX to \root\usr\lib\gcc-lib\
To execute with egcs-mingw32 I make sure that the PATH has
\root\usr\local\bin first and point GCC_EXEC_PREFIX to
\root\usr\local\lib\gcc-lib\
I've been using it this way, mostly egcs-mingw32, for months now
without problems.
As an aside note, since I primarily use mingw32 I set my default
processing modes to text!=binary and the CYGWIN32=notty nobinmode. If
you want to modify the file mode defaults for a particular package
then as the first executed statement within the main function add
`_fmode = _O_BINARY;', both of these are declared in fcntl.h.
Hope this helps,

PS: I may be competent enough to modified the gcc source; however,
time, space limitations and other interests have kept me from it.
