They ran into it ;)

Search the rtems-users mailinglist archive 
http://www.oarcorp.com/rtems/maillistArchives/rtems-users/
for keywords cygwin and Fiddes. 

At the time RTEMS was hit by this problem (1999), Dave Fiddes had
provided work-around (IIRC, a patch to WIN32.DLL) and other persons
described how they proceeded. I have never used Cygwin to building
gnu-toolchains myself.

AFAIK, this problem highly depends on the version of Cygwin and Win to
being used (Win2000 had been reported to be worst) and of the target
trying to build. 

Meanwhile, we are using Canadian-Cross builds under Linux to build
Cygwin toolchains, but I doubt anybody has tried to build gcc-3.x for
RTEMS w/ Cygwin yet.

PS: Sorry, I don't know anything about ELDK.

Hi all,
after my traumatic day getting a cross gcc3.0.2 to build on Cygwin,
I'm a bit mystified.  Several other people have done cross gcc's
on Cygwin before -- how come they didn't run into these problems?
I must just be unlucky.

So maybe I should stop trying to put together my own builds of gcc
altogether.  Hmm, what's the best ready-to-use cross-gcc setup
around?  Looks like ELDK is a good candidate.  I don't know of
any ELDK mailing list (Wolfgang, did I miss something obvious?)
so I'll ask here:

* Has anyone ever built ELDK on Cygwin?  
* Is anyone working on a gcc3.0.x (or later) packager for ELDK?
* Has anyone started adding sh4 support to ELDK?

These are all things I'd be very interested in seeing, and even
perhaps implementing.  I can't really try out ELDK until it
supports gcc3.0.2, so that's what I'd try doing first if I were
to put energy into it.

My goal is to get out of the gcc cross compiler business,
and I'm hoping that switching to using ELDK would be a step
towards that goal.  I guess I'm assuming that there's an ELDK
community that contributes improvements and such.  Or has anyone yet?

I'd also kinda like to see ELDK or something like it become available
as part of the Debian and Cygwin distributions, but that's not as 
important to me -- I can suffer through whacky custom RPM installation 
procedures...
