Yes, saw it, but it deals with CVS version.  I started to check it out
but even at -z9 after a while my 33.6k connection began to yell
obscenities.

I suppose it's about time for me to feel silly, very silly.

Thanks a lot Andrew, you saved that part of my sanity that two days
(and nights) of configure/make had almost blown out.

make -k all results in:

checking whether the C compiler (/home/bard/workspace/cygwin/src/
 gcc2-2.95.3-10/build/gcc/xgcc -B/home/bard/workspace/cygwin/src/
 gcc2-2.95.3-10/build/gcc/ -B/home/bard/workspace/cygwin/
i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ -g -O2 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler 
 cannot create executables.
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

However `make all-gcc && make install-gcc' works and produces the
cross compiler, so I don't really know what else it's trying to build
(and probably don't need to care).

I'll repost the script and put it somewhere online, I guess I won't be
the only one who bangs his head against this.
