I assume minimal Unix experience for anybody willing to build egcs from
sources. When you create a directory using mkdir (without the -p option),
then all the components must already exist.

  $ mkdir /usr/local/src/cygwin-b20

assumes that you've already created /usr/local/src. You can also do the
following so that mkdir will create the missing pieces for you:

  $ mkdir -p /usr/local/src/cygwin-b20

Try using bash:
  
  $ CONFIG_SHELL=bash bash ../src/configure --prefix=/usr/local/cygb20 \
    -v i586-cygwin32
  
I should mention that building on W9x is probably not something I would
even attempt to do! It does however work on NT 4.0/NTFS. I also have
/bin/sh, which is why my ../src/configure bit works.
