I'm in the middle of bootstrapping the latest 3.2 CVS trunk with the
latest Cygwin on Windows 98. It is taking quite a while (on my old 266
MHz machine), but for the first time ever, I have actually reached the
point in the build where the library .java files are compiling without
error. So, it looks like it may be possible to build gcj on cygwin with
a FAT system, after all.
I have not been able to get the testsuite to run on my system (problems
with setting up tcl, and therefore dejagnu), so I won't be able to
report on that. But once the bootstrap completes, and the class
libraries exist, I will let you know the result of compiling and running
a "hello world" program.
