There was a report at one point that someone could get the cross-compiler
running on Solaris, but that never materialized. My own half-hearted
attempts built binutils (a beta version which might not have actually
worked anyway) but never made headway on gcc. On the other hand, I have
learned at least one relevant trick since then- I seriously suggest
trying Solaris again, and seeing what happens- I may be able to help.

I don't know. I was trying to help someone else earlier tonight (over the
phone) and was not able to help them.

I have the tools- check out
http://arthurdent.dorm.duke.edu/legos/archives/windows/
It has (at least) the win8-egcs file, which is the important stuff, and
also mirrors cygwin. However, be aware that this compiler does not have
the new interrupt patch, and so may or may not be able to do LNP stuff.

I'm working on it, very slowly. I've been really swamped with work, so I
haven't made much progress. However, the old HOWTO
(http://arthurdent.dorm.duke.edu/legos/HOWTO/) should still help out with
a lot of the basics.
Good luck-
