No, it isn't that hard, probably take a few weeks.
cygwin is a lot of work, not because of gcc, but because of the 1000s
of other software packages it compiles.
Well you are far more optimistic than I would be. After all even
getting
VxWorks to be posix compatible is a major amount of work. Gteting a
full
unix environment seems much harder to me.
A hosted gcc doesn't require a full unix environment. The difference
is the difference between making gcc and binutils work, versus making
those work, plus /bin/sh and perl and awk and insert 400 other nice
host programs here.
I've seen gcc hosted on an MSDOS box treated as a target board.
