Hmm.  I wonder if it might not be the case-insenstive nature of
the filesystem.  Crosstool has a patch to help with that; it's at
http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37/patches/glibc-2.3.3/glibc-2.3.3-cygwin.patch
but the error I got without it was different, so perhaps this is
something you'd run into later.

Hey, can you try using crosstool to build your toolchain?  Who
knows, maybe one of the other patches it uses (or how it configures
the tools) might fix your problem.
