# Yes, building a cross compiler is tricky :-)

For some reason, the particular combination of DJGPP and CygWin is
especially so; I've done it successfully for some number of other
combinations, including CygWin-hosted ones.  I'm not sure why *this*
one is so tough!  :)

One might wonder "why bother"... and the reason, ultimately, comes
down to the fact that some stuff Just Doesn't Work in DJGPP BASH, at
least under Windows XP.  I'm trying to build wxWidgets/MGL, and it's
choking in "configure" when trying to use backticks (and thus
spawning a new shell).  I seem to recall that is one of the "known
issues" with XP (and yes, I'm using the stuff from "beta").
