Hi Vivin,
Ok, then I hope you
can help me with my original problem!
 
I wanted to install GCJ originally, but the
library (libgcj) comes separately and is a pain to install. GCC has
everything in it, GCJ and Libgcj so I thought I would install that. But
this is where I am running into the problem.
 
I am doing this the first time! So how do I do
a normal build without bootstrap? Do I still have to run
configure?
You must configure the build tree, yes.
What I suggest you _try_ (and I haven't tested this) is (assuming your
gcc sources are in /usr/src/gcc):

mkdir /tmp/build/gcc
cd /tmp/build/gcc
export MAKE_MODE=UNIX
/usr/src/gcc/configure  --prefix=/tools --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
2>&1 | tee configure.out

Look carefully at the start of the output, it will say "This
configuration is not supported in the following directories: ...." -
if it talks about gcj there then gcj isn't supported in cygwin.

If the configure worked, then
make -w all-gcc install-gcc LANGUAGES="c c++ java" 2>&1
| tee make.out

and hopefully it will work.
