Look in the documentation for those tools if you are interested, but why do
you need to know? (quick summary: --prefix == base directory of
installation, --exec-prefix == base directory of host machine specific
parts of the installation (i.e. executables that only run on one host)).

Yes it is possible - you have to build a cygwin to linux cross compiler
though. Not trivial. Note if you are asking for a *cygwin* synthetic
target, then we don't have that (and never will).
