Jens already said he was using 1.1.2, but read on.

I'm somewhat sceptical that's the fix since the problem is on the drive
containing the sources, not the build tree.
No, my guess is that Jens installed the eCos patches to gcc 2.95.2 (which
include a patch to arm.h) when using cygwin 1.1.1, and then found this
problem and *then* updated to cygwin 1.1.2. By that point it was too late -
arm.h already had got CRs put in it.
So instead, now that Jens is using 1.1.2, he should unpack the original
tarball again and reapply the patches. All should then be happy.
