The latest snapshot,
http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc16.tar.gz
can build on Cygwin.  (However, the latest Cygwin (1.5.9-1)
has a bug which causes it to crash when building glibc;
the workaround is to grab the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot, e.g.
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20040520.dll.bz2,
uncompress it, exit all Cygwin processes, and copy it
over the old cygwin1.dll.)
