Hi Martin,

To be fast, clean and objective: after reading your comments on this link

         http://distcc.samba.org/faq.html#cross-compile

         where you said this

/          (I'd like to be able to provide a link to a Cygwin-hosted
          Linux-target gcc binary that people can simply download and use.
          Please contact me if you can provide one. -- mbp)/

I made some tests, using the instructions of Mumit Khan, written here

http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/cygwin-to-linux-cross-howto.txt

and I was able to build a cross gcc for cygwin that creates code for Linux. I tested this
cross gcc on 2 Windows machines - one NT and one XP, with the purpose of run distcc on
them and on another 3 Linux machines, all using gcc 3.3.3.


Well, this whole thing worked too damn well, and I was able to distribute the compilation
of a Gentoo Linux running on my notebook to these 5 machines - 3 Linux and 2 Windows. I have
compiled the whole KDE 3.3.0, k3b and a lot of stuff, including the kernel itself.


So, I created a RAR file with this cross gcc 3.3.3.3 for cygwin, whose size is about 19 Mb,
and I like to share it with other people who want to do the same thing. Once you asked for a link
for such thing... :) But the problem is: I just can't put this file in my company's server... Would you
like to get this file from me, to make it available in some other site ?


         If you do, then pleae contact me, ok ?

Regards,
Roberto P. Rosa
