I've designed a build-system for a customer, and I tried (just to see how much that worked ok) to build under Cygwin. Everything worked out ok until the system cross compiled glibc-2.1.3. Building glibc generated a error message that meant something like you-have-bad-memory-on-your-system. I tried to find the source of the problem with rebuilding and running memtest86. But no success. But this was maybe a year ago. The same system works great on Linux boxes. That's my only experience. But I have a box from Lynuxworks somewhere here (someone gave it to me) and that box says that the build system is hosted on windows... / Magnus John Fisher wrote: > > Is anyone seriously trying to do embedded Linux development for power PC > using Cygwin as the host? > > I'm trying to get linux running on proprietary MPC850/860/8260 boards.
