Isn't compiling a compiler that is going to generate crx executable, will run
on windows and built on cygwin is a canadian cross?

I know I need to specify --target=crx-elf and I guess --build=i686-pc-cygwin
but I don't know which host to specify.
I tried many options in the form *-*windows or *-*-mingw32 but no option seem
to work.

Just specify --target.  config.guess will default built and host
appropriately.  You only need to specify host/build if you want to do a
"canadian" cross where the host and build are different.
