 Recently I built both the 20000620 and 20000627 snapshots for Mingw host and
fr30-elf, h8300-hms (20000620) and mips64vr4100-elf (20000627) targets, just
to see that the Mingw-host support still works... The only problem seemed to
be that the icon resources are now somehow hided, my Win2k shows the executables
as 'console-only' apps and the 'Properties' says that there are no icons to
choose from. Perhaps there is some bug in my 'gdb/gdbtk/gdb.rc' after adding
more icons to it...

 I built them under Linux, so your problems seem to be related to the Cygwin
build environment, I'm quite sure there wouldn't be any problems with the
Cygwin host either, if building under Linux... Perhaps I'll try that soon, just
downloaded the 20000626 snapshots of Cygwin headers & libs, I have had the 1.1.2
ones for some time, but have tried them only for trying to build the Source
Navigator for Win32... This failed miserably, but after switching to Mingw as
the host, it shows some progress. The SN seems to be ported to Cygwin and MSVC
earlier, so I must try a compromise between them for Mingw...

 I could email the 'insight-20000620' for H8/300 to you, but I'm not sure about
your motives... Do you want a working Insight for your H8/300 target or only to
build it? (no use for it afterwards...). If I should recommend a H8/300-target
Insight for Win32, I would choose the 4.18.x one (from 19991227) which I have put
for download... At least some people have said that it works... (I only try to
build these things sometimes...)

 Still there is the problem with the current HDI-systems... If you haven't the
older CMON monitor in your board, you have only a nice GDB with a GUI and with
a nice simulator. But how to communicate with the target board, that's the real
question...
