OK, I just replaced cygwin1.dll with the May 7th one and ran. Rather
than 1 hour 20 minutes on Linux (1.1GHz Athlon) it took 3 hours 25
minutes under Cygwin on the same computer to complete the powerpc
cross-compiler successfully with no problems at all.  So my problem was
just a broken cygwin1.dll, i.e., the 1.5.9-1 version.

I glad Dan suggested the snapshot as I would not have thought of using
it.

Thanks,
Don
