So you need to build a cross compiler, since the cynwin tools are
going to produce a MS binary which is not going to run on Linux.
You need a Linux toolchain which runs on cygwin.

qemu or vmware will give you i386 environments, not ARM, so they are
no use to you. You probably want to either use the synthetic target on
Linux, or use a real ARM development board which eCos supports.
