Hi Larry. First of all thanks for the reply!

That's what I am doing at the moment. The problem is that I have to use
an application (Rational Rose Realtime) that generates code and runs
only on Windows. 

Unfortunately I cannot simply transfer the generated code to Linux and
compile it there because it has some very complicated makefiles which
call scripts from the tool again etc.

So what is usually done for other architectures is using a cross
compiler that runs natively on Windows and calling it from Rose
Realtime.

Last week I compiled the MicroBlaze GCC toolchain on Linux. I found it
here:

http://www.petalogix.com/resources/downloads/mb-gcc

Now I want to compile the bintools and the gcc itself again on Linux in
mingw/msys and use the libraries which were compiled on Linux.
Unfortunately the buildtools do not even compile. I would like to have
the mb-gcc for Windows with newlib and stdlibc++ and the buildtools for
Windows. 

Maybe someone on this list knows how to do that (or already did that)
and could help me with that a bit? 

Other solutions are also welcome. I thought about using distcc but that
will probably not work too because the distcc would not have access to
the files from the Windows tool which are required in the Makefile, I
don't know.

Thank you and best regards

Jarno Radde
