You should use i586-cygwin32 as the target name if you want -mno-cygwin
to work. Then again, since you duplicate the header tree, you should be
fine.

 ../egcs-1.1.2/configure [option] i586-cygwin32

I've never been successful in getting Cygwin Expect to reliably run the
testsuite; I have a rather hacked dejagnu setup with Expect/NT (Gordon
Chaffee's distribution) that works quite well. For the testsuite results
for Cygwin and Mingw targets, see http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/testsresults/ .
