Hi,

I managed to compile this cross-gcc like this:

1/ patch gcc.2.95.2/gcc/config/i386/t-cygwin by removing the "LIMITS_H_TEST
= true line"
2/ configure with --with-newlib
3/ make only the C compiler (with: make all-gcc LANGUAGES="c" )

In this case you don't need the cygwin header pre-installed.

I'm not sure why if the fix in 1/ is correct but if I don't make it, there
is a #include_next <limits.h> that fails in gcc limits.h. The comment in
gcc/config/i386/t-cygwin says:

# cygwin always has a limits.h, but, depending upon how we are doing
# the build, it may not be installed yet.

So i don't see why there is the LIMITS_H_TEST=true if the the limits.h is
not there.
By removing this line configure test by default if
$(tooldir)\sys-include\limits.h exists or no.


So in the end i get my i686-cygwin32-gcc binary and the libraries in my
lib/gcc-lib/i686-cygwin32 directory.

For sure I can't link because I miss (at least) crt0.o. (but gcc -c seems to
work)

A+
