I have untar all the gz

$ tar xzvf binutils-2.14.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf gcc-3.23.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf newlib-1.11.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf gdb-6.0.tar.gz


under /home/test



according to your document


$ cd <---- this go back /home/myself

$ mkdir build-binutils
$ mkdir build-gcc
$ mkdir build-newlib
$ mkdir build-gdb
$ mkdir install
$ export TARGET=arm-elf
$ export PREFIX=`pwd`/install
$ export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin


so I must stop here for further advise. "should this be cd /" or what the
above directory under which "TOP directory"
 
You need to configure and build the binutils first:

cd

cd build-binutils

../binutils-XXX/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX

replace the binutils-XXX with the actual path to the binutils that you untarred from the archive file.
 
I have deleted all the untar files under /home/test/ and re-shuffled all *gz
files to /home/myname/

and untar them under cygwins in multiple sessions since their folders are
under different directories.

**broken link removed**

after the three export stmts

export ....
export
export
I also set | grep prefix

and I also do the set grep and make sure
myself at the /home/myname/install at the prefix.

I then followed in page 3

cd build-binutils
../binutils2.14/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX

see attached *.gif

I then read the configure file and readme under binutiles2.14

I discovered this lines in configure

# CFLAGS is not in ac_cpp because -g, -O, etc. are not valid cpp options.
ac_cpp='$CPP $CPPFLAGS'
ac_compile='${CC-cc} -c $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext 1>&5'
ac_link='${CC-cc} -o conftest${ac_exeext} $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS
conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS 1>&5'


and the setenv in the readme. I have tried every possible combition. I failed.

can u help?

Ok, the problem is that you dont have a compiler already installed. You need your cygwin gcc to build a gcc arm cross compiler. Just download and install the binutils and gcc for cygwin. Then you will use those tools to build the arm toolchain.
