Problem compiling gdb and insight under cygwin

["Sixtus Lee" <sixtuslee at outwesttech dot com>]

Hi,

Help needed...
Compile fails for gdb-5.0 as well as insight-5.0 (same error) when I try to
compile under cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) . Compiler is gcc
2.95.3-2. I was building the powerpc cross-compiler. I followed the
instructions as described on
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/win-powerpc-eabi.html. (I was able to
successfully build the same thing on a Linux system).

The configure command used was:
mkdir -p /tmp/build/gdb
cd /tmp/build/gdb
/src/gdb/insight-5.0/configure --target=powerpc-eabi \
      --prefix=/tools \
      --exec-prefix=/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin \
      -v 2>&1 | tee configure.out

The configure command used was:
make -w all install CC='gcc -mwin32' 2>&1 | tee make.out

I also tried:
1. building gdb-5.0.
2. Prefixing configure with CC="gcc -mwin32" (i.e., CC="gcc -mwin32"
configure...)

The (error) message from compile that failed is listed below:

I noted there were previous mails on this subject however none were helpful
in resolving my problem. All help appreciated. Thanks.
