Building egcs with cygwin on win95

[Paul Andrews <paul.andrews@smartmove.co.nz>]

Hi all!
Is it actually possible to build egcs under win95 with cygwin? 
Has anyone managed to do this and live to tell about it? :-)

My first attempt resulted in loads of crashes until I found out
about the Jan 15 snapshot of cygwin. This seemed to solve
the crashes but now the 'make cross' gets stuck in some
sort of weird recursive loop checking a file called 'iostream.list'.
Eventually it runs out of processes. Below is some out the
output. It seems to not be able to find a directory which I'm sure
is there (../libiberty). I have /build/egcs/libiberty/ and 
/build/egcs/m68k-coff/libiberty/ directories floating about.

I am using cygwin B20 with the Jan 15 snapshot and trying
to compile egcs-1.1.2 to target m68k-coff with make 3.77.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
