RTEMS Source Builder build error

[Alan Cudmore]

Just adding my experience:
I tried to build a mingw arm-rtems4.11 compiler on cygwin using source 
builder. I was not able to get it to work until I created a brand new 
Windows 7 virtual machine and just installed cygwin.

Whatever combination of software I have on my main Windows 7 laptop kept 
the build from completing.

Right now, I'm happy to use the Chris's mingw compiler that he cross 
compiled on FreeBSD.
