Stefan, it would be necessary to use many invocations of the "cygpath" tool to
perform robust translation (with reference to the Cygwin mount table). Support
for native Windows-hosted toolchains would be best achieved by porting the eCos
host tools to execute in a MinGW environment rather than translating a large
number of file paths between the two environments.

If I have understood correctly from comment #2, the current eCos PowerPC
toolchains for Linux and Cygwin hosts will work correctly with this MPC5xxx
contribution.

I think it best to separate out the issue of native Windows toolchain support
from this MPC5xxx contribution. Let's drop the file path translation elements
from this patch set and work towards a more elegant solution for supporting
native Windows toolchains as a separate project.
