Download package from here and unpack into this directory:

https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=173455&use_mirror=switch&filename=cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz&a=34126466

NOTES: - In order to unpack and use this package, you'll
         need Cygwin package (from http://cygwin.com) installed
         and put in PATH for Cygwin runtime (cygwin1.dll).
       - To unpack:
            > sh
            $ tar -zxvf cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz
            $ exit
       - Move content of /opt/mingw32ce directory to this one.
       - If you feel unconfortable with Cygwin shell, you can
         use GNU Tar to unpack it from Windows command line,
         using this command:
            > tar -xvf cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar -h

-h == --dereference
