Hi Larry,

Thanks for your patience with this.

nothing unexpected in there (pointing to appropriate cygwin and windows 
dlls)

Tried it, no luck :(

Yeah except if I go ntfs then it cannot be a writeable linux dual-boot 
partition.

bleugh....

Someone on the uclinux/microblaze mailing list has managed to get 
microblaze-gcc up and running on linux.  I think when I return from 
holidays I'll do a linux install and start again there.

Thanks for trying, I really do appreciate it, but it seems like the 
original stunned surprise from folks when I said I was doing linux 
kernel builds under cygwin had some basis in reality...

Cheers,

John
