You probably want to follow how the Rockbox project handles cygwin 
development. http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CygwinDevelopment

It has its own compiler, a gcc version that is only patched to be able 
to build for a number of ARM processors (multilib). The target is 
arm-elf, so it's supposed to be used for bare metal. But you can of 
course use it to build a C library and gcc for a different target.

Best regards.
