I'm now getting the "as: unrecognized option `-ppc'" error.  I removed a
previous installation I had on cygwin and new extracted a tar.gz file which
included Insight.  Now powerpc-eabi-gcc gives me the same error you have.  I
couldn't quite workout why because the compiler was exactly the same as
before.  I had copied the archive from my Linux box and used WinZip to
extract it to /usr/local/gcc on my cygwin machine.  This seems to be the
cause of my problem as I tried using "tar zxvf cygwin-powerpc-eabi.tar.gz"
and that fixed the problems.  I'm not sure what the differences are.  Maybe
tar/gzip handle unix style ascii files where as WinZip does not (or I guess
it could be the other way around).  This still could be binary mount
problem/solution but I'm not sure.
