  Ah, ok, understood.  This is known to be possible.

  Discard it.  Get the binary tarball instead.  It contains the headers and
libs needed for the cross-compiler.  Untar it somewhere and use the unpacked
tree as your sysroot.

  Any generic crosstool-related rather than specifically cygwin-related
problems, you'll most likely get better advice on the crossgcc list, but I
appreciate it might not be clear where the source of a problem lies in
general.


    cheers,
