Sorry, could not be arsed to reformat this... :-)

Im pretty sure, it makes sense to me and kinda confirmed in the mknetrel
script, that Chris (cgf) uses cross gcc, binutils and maybe more that are
targetted for i{3,4,5,6?}86-pc-cygwin... So you'd need to compile at very
least a cross-compiler for cygwin.

Do I understand correctly that you want to compile (on a linux machine) a
program that makes use of the Cygwin API's, and which will be run on a
windows machine?  A true "cross compile?"

hi,

i want to compile cygwin apps in linux. i've searched both the cygwin and
the cygwin-dev lists but i can't seem to find much information about it.
cgf apparently does it and knows how to do it.
so if someone can point me in a direction that'd be great.
