[ANN] Cross HOWTOs: Cygwin->Linux, Cygwin->newlib-targets (eg., ppc-eabi)

[Mumit Khan <khan at NanoTech dot Wisc dot EDU>]

Those of you building various cross-compilers for newlib-based targets
on Cygwin (should work on other hosts as well) may be interested in
the following HOWTOs. 

* Building Linux dev tools hosted on Cygwin.
  http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/cygwin-to-linux-cross-howto.txt
  
  Shows how to build a Linux 2.4.0 kernel on Cygwin host after you're done
  building the cross-toolchain.

* Building a newlib-based target hosted on Cygwin?<br>
  http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/cygwin-to-newlib-cross-howto.txt
  
  I used powerpc-eabi target as an example, but others applicable just
  as well.

All quite trivially scriptable; I do believe however that it's much more
instructive to see what needs to be done and how it's done before using 
someone else's script.

I welcome suggestions, fixes, updates, elaborations, criticisms, etc. 
Email asking for hand-holding someone through the process however will 
go into the proverbial bit-bucket. Likewise for questions on specific 
boards and other things not related to the mechanism of building the 
development tools. 

Regards,
Mumit
