I seem to have been successful. I got the source from
ftp://go.cygnus.com/pub/ftp.cygnus.com/egcs/releases/egcs-1.1.2.tar.bz2 and
Mumit's patches from
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/egcs-1.1.2/patches/egcs-1.1.2-x86-win32-patches.tar.gz.
I extracted egcs-1.1.2-x86-win32.diff from the patch file, and applied it
successfully to the source distribution.

My cygwin configuration is not "standard". In retrospec, this is probably an
error, but I made my NT box look like the Unix boxes that I use; I find it
easier to remember where given files are if they are always in the same place on
each box. Specifically, I have my executables in /usr/local/bin, and the headers
and libraries in /usr/local/i586-cygwin32/...

The default target for egcs-1.1.2 under cygwin is i686-pc-cygwin32. I duplicated
the /usr/local/i586-cygwin32 directory as /usr/local/i686-pc-cygwin32. I then
created a separate build directory, cd'ed into it, and did:

../egcs-1.1.2/configure --with-local-prefix=/usr/local/i686-pc-cygwin32
make bootstrap
make install

The compiler used initially was egcs-1.1.1, not egcs-1.1b. Other than that, my
setup is the same as yours: NT4SP3, cygwin b20.1. uname -m report i686 rather
than i586 (probably not relevant).

I am now running the regression test suite. I took me a while to figure out why
all execution tests fail under cygwin. There is a problem in the expect
interpreter: it does not understand Unix-style absolute path names (e.g.
/home/gauthier/build-egcs/gcc/testsuite/900409-1.x0). I had to modify the
generated site.exp file to use either relative pathnames, or add leading drive
letters to the pathnames (I have D: mounted as /home, so I specify paths as
D:/gauthier/build-egcs/...).

The dejagnu framework appears to be very unstable under cygwin. During execute
tests, I appear to get SEGV signals at random. I just don't trust the test
results; every test passes until a SEGV stops the testing of a given suite.

Also, I gave up on the initial tests in /build-egcs/i686-pc-cygwin32/libio/dbz.
Too many problems...
