This isn't really a Cygwin-specific topic, and there are better places
to ask such as the crossgcc list (also hosted on sourceware). If you
want a full cross toolchain and you're targeting linux/glibc then
crosstool will definitely be what you want to use.

Are you missing bison?

Normally you don't need to specify these.

If you are targeting openbsd then why are you using this?
