Hi There,

I would like to know if it was possible to make a cygwin
cross-compiler that targets i686-pc-cygwin from source in Linux
Debian.

I would like to use it to compile programs like bash from source using linux.

I already know how to build a mingw-w64 cross-compiler

It is possible, but you will have to build it yourself.  You can see how 
I built such a toolchain for Fedora:
