You don't mention what toolset target.  We build both both
Solaris and Cygwin hosted cross-compilers targetting 
powerpc-rtems without too many problems.  Both platforms
have quirks/limitations that can cause various problems
when building cross-toolsets.

If using RTEMS, you could just grab precompiled tool binaries. :)
