I think CYGGCC was able to build in (our internal) build pool.

I'm not saying that CYGGCC was useful, or easy to setup, but just that
I don't think it was totally broken. :)

Well, I can't see the purpose for the ELFGCC toolchain. It was only
used with UnixPkg, which is now deprecated.  So I tried to remove it
August 2013, but this was rejected.

Anyway, I think we should consider adding
BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.deprecated for older unused and unsupported
toolchains. (Of course, we could just delete them too, because source
control keeps them available in the history.)

So, I think ELFGCC is a clear candidate for deprecation.

Regarding CYGGCC, I think it should also be deprecated in favor of
running GCC44-GCC49 under a full cygwin environment. (bash shell, not
cmd.exe)
