cross gcc help needed

[toreador at attbi dot com]

Hello, 
I'm hoping you might be able to help me.  I have been tasked with finding a 
solution to our current roadblock and I'm having difficulty doing that.  It 
involves GCC, specifically installing it for a cross compiler.

Our project involves C and C++ code running a PDA with an XScale CPU. 
A pc running windows xp is host for the build process.  The PDA in question is 
running WinCE.  Since Microsoft's Nmake doesn't cut the mustard for compiling 
for XScale, we're turning to GNU make to see if it is a possible avenue for us.

My questions are:

Is it possible?  (I have read conflicting articles regarding the cross 
compiler potential of gcc)

How is it done?  (I have installed CYGWIN, configured, made and completed the 
install for binutils, then ran the configure, did a make bootstrap and make 
install of gcc to produce a native compiler.  This seemed to work fine, but 
when I try to build gcc as a cross compiler, it fails during the 'make 
bootstrap' and reports:

mkdir libgcc
if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi /gcc_arm/gcc/xgcc -

I am getting documentation together to send this bug info in as the output 
suggested, but I'm still on the hook for making this work.  Do you have any 
suggestions?

My experience is modest in this area and any help (especially that which 
includes details) is VERY much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
