Cygwin is ALWAYS well behind. But I have had no
problem building gcc 4.2.x using cygwin (I used gcc
3.4 to build gcc 4.2.1, and 4.2.1 to build 4.2.2).
If you need 4.2.x to do your cross build, you can
build it native first, and then do your cross build
(unless your cross compiler needs something not in
cygwin - I wouldn't know since I don't attempt
building a cross compiler). If you want, I can post
the configure parameters I used.
