gcc-2.95.2-2, VxWorks, CygWin: Can't build it.

[David Korn <dkorn at pixelpower dot com>]

    Hi everyone,

 I'm being driven slowly out of my mind.

 I am trying to build gcc-2.95.2-2 for the powerpc-wrs-vxworks target
on a PC using NT4.0sp6 and a fairly recent (1.1.2) download of cygwin.

 It goes dreadfully wrong, no matter what I try.

 I've searched various mailing list archives (gcc-help, crossgcc, cygwin),
and found that lots of people have been having trouble with it under all
sorts of platforms, but no mention of cygwin.

 Has *anybody* managed to build this target under cygwin? Anyone at all?

 My main problem at the moment is to do with errors compiling
choose-temp.c in libiberty which is suffering some sort of header
conflict that prevents it knowing the definition of a va_list:

/usr/home/dkorn/gcc-2.95.2-2/libiberty/../include/libiberty.h:193: parse
error before `va_list'

 ....but that's not all...

/usr/home/dkorn/gcc-2.95.2-2/libiberty/choose-temp.c: In function `try':
/usr/home/dkorn/gcc-2.95.2-2/libiberty/choose-temp.c:89: warning: implicit
declaration of function `access'

declaration of function `strcat'
/usr/home/dkorn/gcc-2.95.2-2/libiberty/choose-temp.c:200: warning: implicit
declaration of function `close'

  I won't go into further detail right now, as I'm sure most people aren't
interested. But if *anyone* out there has build this version, can you
please drop me a line and tell me whether you had similar trouble, and
what kind of configure options you used ?

   Thanks for your time,
                        DaveK
