well, then something else is hosed in the gcc config process.
basically, config.sub (i think, my cygnus install is at home, so
i'm going a little from memory here) always returns
"i386-cygwin32
i386-cygwin32"
for all its calls in ./configure, so all the set TARGET=`config.sub` type
constructions set TARGET to the two-line entity.  then, the TARGET
vars are substituted into sed scripts, causing stuff like
"s/foo/i386-cygwin32
i386-cygwin32/"
which sed (rightly?) barfs on.  has anybody gotten this to work
with b17.1?  was there another step that i missed?
