Hi

you can download MB and GCC toolchains compiled for cygwin from

http://xilant.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,53/func,select/id,9/

the mb-gcc from above has been used to succesfully compile uclinux kernel 
and filesystem
but there are some issues still with it. so I would still suggest using 
VMWare to install linux
on windows and then install the mb linux gcc toolchain in the VMWare linux 
box.
That works like magic on WinXP :)

however if you are looking for MB c compiler only (and not recompiling the 
kernel)
then the cygwin mb-gcc sure can be used also without problems. You can also
use kernel compiled with linux mb-gcc then pullout the tree and setup the 
cygwin gcc
todo OOT compile of uclinux applications. That works fairly well.
