[ECOS] Dreamcast binaries and Cygwin and building them there, few other questions

["Gregg C Levine" <hansolofalcon at worldnet dot att dot net>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Below my signature is the output from the tool I use for uploading
data into my Dreamcast, it only runs on Cygwin successfully. When I
try to run it on Slackware Linux, which is where I built that copy of
Red Boot, my Dreamcast ignores me. I am working to resolve that issue
even as I write this.

Am I correct in my assertions regarding the hosting of eCos, with
Cygwin, that despite the fact that Cygwin can be installed on Windows
98, or 95, I can't use it for building eCos binaries? I thought the
tool chains came already made, despite the hosting environment, that
of either Linux, (see above for my chosen distribution name), or
Cygwin. Regarding the Embedded Linux issues, I'll tackle them on the
Cygwin list, but that's my collection.
