Cygwin Hosted Linux (x86) targetted cross compiler problem

["Vinay Chiniwar" <vinay at altosys dot co dot in>]

Hi,

1. We are building crossgcc tool chain for the following :

    host  - cygwin
    build - cygwin
    target- Linux(x86)

 meaning, a crossgcc built on CYGWIN, hosted on CYGWIN, but to produce code  
 that will run on Linux/x86 platform.

2. our environment is as below :

   Windows 98/ CYGWIN release 1.3.21 / i686 

3. when we try to configure the Binutils, the configuration script 
   hangs on the following line.

   ...checking whether to build shared libraries... no
      checking whether to build static libraries... yes


4. we are attaching the build_tools.sh script that we are using to do the
   job, as well as the log file where the configuration hangs in this 
   message.

Please let us know what we are missing.

build_tools.sh:
.............

tar jxf source/binutils-2.12.tar.bz2
    pushd binutils-2.12
    mkdir build-${CHIP}-linux
    pushd build-${CHIP}-linux
    LDFLAGS='--static' CFLAGS='--static' 
    ./configure \
        --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
	--host=i686-pc-cygwin \
        --build=i686-pc-cygwin \
	--prefix=${PRO_INSTALL_PREFIX} ${FP}

    make
    make install
