How do you know what it can do if you can't compile it?
You did extract the whole directory tree, right? You need newlib
(obviously), libiberty, include, and all of the supporting files in the
top-level 'sourceware' directory. You need to build everything in
a separate directory from source. You also need to build newlib first
before you build cygwin or you need to be in the top level directory
to build everything.
