Ah, ok, understood. This is known to be possible.

Discard it. Get the binary tarball instead. It contains the headers and
libs needed for the cross-compiler. Untar it somewhere and use the unpacked
tree as your sysroot.
Any generic crosstool-related rather than specifically cygwin-related
problems, you'll most likely get better advice on the crossgcc list, but I
appreciate it might not be clear where the source of a problem lies in
general.
