Sounds like progress.  I'm looking forward to adding msys support to crosstool sometime...

FWIW, I have a nice version of the patch that lets glibc
cope with the case-insensitive filesystem; it's in

crosstool-0.28-rc4/patches/glibc-2.1.3/glibc-2.1.3-cygwin.patch
crosstool-0.28-rc4/patches/glibc-2.2.5/glibc-2.2.5-cygwin.patch
crosstool-0.28-rc4/patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-cygwin.patch
crosstool-0.28-rc4/patches/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2-cygwin.patch

if you don't already have that.
