Compiling rtems under cygwin

[Camilo Alejandro Arboleda]

Hello:

I am new in the list. This is my first try to compile and install a
Real-Time OS's.

I have been trying to compile RTEMS using cygwin as host. At first I
tried compiling binutils and gcc from source code, but I found an error
when I tried to compile RTEMS itself. Then I downloaded the pre-compiled
rpm's, and I got the same result.

The last messages are:

Could not successfully configure into build-i386-rtems!

Some ideas about the problem?
