Hello from Gregg C Levine
I need to build a cross compiler using Cygwin for the SH3/4 family of
processors, for an embedded project who uses those, and then one for
the M68K processors for the VME bus based systems who use those, end
target will be Linux on them. Eventually I'll move the whole business
for building the entire works for Linux.68K off of Cygwin, to
Linux.X86 using the tool, and probably a supported distribution for
that processor. I do not know what will be next here.

I've downloaded and extracted the Crosstool cross compiler collection,
but Dan's notes on his site, indicate that problems did exist with a
prior release of the DLL, regarding parsing. He points to the message
on this list which describes the problems with Cygwin-1.5.9-1, and
then says, that upgrading to Cygwin-1.5.10-2 would work. But I think
we are past that, if CGF will agree.

However it does say, quoting, "It also supports building toolchains
that target Cygwin; see demo-cygwin.sh."

Has anyone used that tool to build their compilers within a fairly
recent amount of time? And can describe their experiences?

Or am I on the wrong Cygwin list with this question?
