yup that's what i want to do. however i'm not very experienced (not at
all) with building cross compilers. i've tried to build binutils and gcc
with target=i586-cygwin-pc but both failed on me.
i've googled around for a more detailed howto than the one i've found
which was quite outdated (b20, egcs 1.1.x) but didn't find anything.

maybe cgf wants to share a bit of his wisdom? :)
