Building GCC/GCJ under cygwin and Win32

John,
 One method I have tried on other packages recently,
 "when all else fails", is to install both Cygwin
and MinGW on the Win32 machine.
1. Put cygwin/bin in the path
2. Start bash
3. Prepend mingw/bin -in front- of cygwin.
 export PATH=/cygdrive/d/mingw/bin:$PATH
or however it is on your machine
4. Do your configure/build with --host=mingw32
It might complain, but ignore it.
This does not always work, but I have been surprised
how well it does in some cases.
