Most of the problems occur in the classic canadian cross:

	--build=<youros>
	--target=powerpc-eabi
	--host=i686-cygwin

You need to have a compiler tool chain:

	--build=<youros>
	--target=i686-cygwin
	--host=<youros>

that was either freshly built/installed, or a frozen, blessed one.  You don't
have to run the canadian cross, the point of the exercise is to make sure none
of the supporting mechanism was broken.
