Crosstool Build Fails under cygwin

[Jeremy Cole-Baker <jeremy at rhtech dot co dot nz>]

Hello all,

I've been instructed to get a cross-compiler for Power PC working under 
Cygwin (crazy idea I know, but that's what they want!). Having trouble, 
though.

I have tried crisstools-ng version 1.17 and 1.18,  but they won't build. 
"Configure" seemed to work fine, but "make" for both versions stopped 
with this error:

My system is Windows 7 64 bit, and I installed the latest Cygwin (I 
think it's 1.7). I installed all the dev tools in the Cygwin setup.


This may or may not be relevant, but:

A couple of days ago, I downloaded and installed crosstools-ng 1.9 
(because it was at the bottom of the page! I guess I failed the first 
intelligence test!).

1.9 built OK, and I was able to run the "menuconfig" option and set up 
my toolchain. Running the toolchain build took a loooooooooooooooong 
time (11 hours!) and eventually ended with an error. Here are the last 
few lines of the log file:

That seems slow! (Athlon 64 X2 dual core @ 3.1 Ghz and 6 GB RAM).

I've become completely obsessed by this task (i.e. building a toolchain 
for cygwin) and I've lost all sense of perspective, so suggestions would 
be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jeremy
