Re: 2.6.7 ppc 8260 (cross compile in Cygwin) - lots of undefined references to `jiffies' and other symbols in built-in.o - anybody ?

This occurs because the linux build system relies on a case-sensitive filesystem, which FAT and NTFS do not provide. Specifically, the build overwrites the file arch/$(ARCH)/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S with the file arch/$(ARCH)/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s.

To build on cygwin, you can use my patch (after having restored vmlinux.ld.S):

Off topic: Dan, when will you release crosstool-0.28?
