Cross-compiling instructions at http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html obsolete?

[Alain Knaff]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Cygwin cross compiler (i.e. a compiler that runs 
on Linux but generates binaries that run on Cygwin)
For this, I tried to follow the instructions at 
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html

However, these seem to be obsolete.

Indeed, on my Fedora Core 5, I get the following error when attempting 
to configure gcc:

*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
      target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava 
target-libf2c zlib fastjar target-libobjc
     (Any other directories should still work fine.)

*** The command 'gcc -o conftest -O2   conftest.c' failed.

Is there any more up-to-date version of these instructions online?

Or, even better, some pre-made RPMs of a cygwin crosscompiler?

Thanks,

Alain
