Certain recent versions of the Cygwin DLL are known to have problems when
running on Win95/98/ME which cause memory corruption resulting in internal
compiler errors. I should stress that these problems do not affect
WinNT4/2k/XP users. You could try using an earlier version of Cygwin. For
example, the GNU toolchains contributed by eCosCentric do appear to work OK
with Cygwin 1.3.18 on Win98 hosts. However, my only recommendation would be
to upgrade to an operating system against which eCos 2.0 has been tested.
Actually, that's not all... you can try rebuilding the tools using the
instructions on the eCos website. When built natively on win98 the tools
will work on win98. Or so we've been told ;).
Of course sometimes there are hiccups rebuilding the tools!
