cross compile build error: i686-pc-cygwin->i686-pc-linux-gnu glibc-2.2.5

["Vince Harron" <vince at nethacker dot com>]

I think I've tried everything.  Of course, whenever I say that, somone
points me to the part of the documentation I didn't read, or didn't read
correctly.

I'm trying to build a compiler to generate linux binaries (RedHat 7.3) from
Windows (cygwin).

I've seen the problem outside of cygwin, so I'm fairly sure it's not that.
I'm sure glib does, in general, cross compile.  So I'm guessing the problem
is with my i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc.exe setup/installation.

I've seen a similar error in at least two other posts, but they were
unanswered.

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/glibc-linux/2000-q3/msg00020.html

Any ideas?

These are (roughly) the steps I've done so far
mkdir binutils-build
cd binutils-build

make all install
cd ..

cd gcc-build
/usr/src/gcc2-2.95.3-10/configure --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu
copy includes from linux:/usr/include/ to
