FW: Problems building newlib under Cygwin

["Bruce Boettjer" <bruceb at momenco dot com>]

This is probably a real noob question, but this is the first time I?m trying
to build a cross gcc. ?I am having no end of frustration in trying to get a
compile without error.
?
Host: i686-pc-cygwin
Target: powerpc-eabi
?
Clean install of Cygwin made this past weekend.? All the latest.
?
I downloaded earlier tool sources on advice of a friend:
binutils-2.13
gcc-3.2.1
newlib-1.10.0
gdb-5.3
?
I am using a modified script I found (and plagiarized shamelessly) that
first compiles binutils (this works) and then compiles gcc-core (this works,
too), then newlib is compiled and appears to finish and puke on installing
in the following manner:
