Apparently my neophyte status made it perfectly clear when I sent a post to the list during ICFP. I will repeate the post:

All:
I guess I enjoy inflicting pain upon myself. I would like to try and compile GHC on cygwin32 using a mingw32 GHC for the GHC dependency.
The issue I am running into is that the "unix" package is required by cygwin32 (target) can't be installed on mingw32 (host).
I won't pretend to have any experience cross-compiling anything.
I was hopeful that since this is the same architecture (the same machine even), that I would be able to proceed as outlined above.
The next idea I had was to use an old cygwin32 GHC binary but could not find one using google.
I was told cygwin32 was supported up to 6.2 but all I have found is source (still need an exhisting GHC).
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration in this matter.
