I haven't built a Linux-x-Cygwin toolchain in a long, long time (three
years at least).  I don't remember it being such a problem, but I had
a unified tree and I didn't try to build libgcj.  In fact libgcj
didn't exist when I did it.

I think the above is probably best.  I imagine at the current moment
it is easier to try to build natively on Cygwin than it is to do a
cross, especially for libgcj.  I haven't built any libgcj cross in a
couple years, and even then it was to a relatively simple target (a
MIPS port using newlib), not to another host.
