"build_alias" again in cygwin

[Steve Holle]

I'm the co-worker Steve Strobel referred to.  I can't say for sure but the 
one thing I did that Steve hasn't was to go through and upgrade everything 
that showed needing upgrade in my cygwin tree.  I have to suspect this is a 
cygwin problem but am not sure why mine builds.  If there is some info from 
my system someone thinks would be helpful, let me know and I'll post it.

I am still not able, however, to do an incremental build so each build 
takes 30 minutes.  I would not recommend cygwin for anyone starting a new 
RTEMS project.  The time wasted is huge.
