There was some discussion about this just recently - see the list archive:

Basically, you have to work in some kind of linux environment, whether 
it's a dedicated linux box, vmware, colinux, or even Cygwin.  I know 
that there are people who successfully develop uClinux under Cygwin on 
other platforms, but I gave up on it a long time ago, it just wasn't 
worth the trouble for me.  However, vmware and colinux do seem to be 
effective platforms if you want to keep a toe in the Windows sea!

I'm starting to think I should look at running windows under VMWare 
within Linux - my Windows laptop is essentially an expensive xterm, and 
MS Office host.  All my hardware and SW development happens under linux 
these days.

Regards,

John
