[U-Boot] ARM tools-only CROSS_COMPILE issues within Cygwin

[Chris Renshaw]

Just posting an update on the current Cygwin issues with U-Boot and the Android NDK.

I do have NDK cross-compiles of tools-only working well from a Linux environment now but on Cygwin there continues to be some major compatibility issue with U-Boot's KBuild system and the Android NDK.

Using the same command-line as my Linux NDK cross-compile on Cygwin results in the following odd build error:

  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  CHK     include/config/uboot.release
  CHK     include/generated/version_autogenerated.h
  CHK     include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h
  UPD     include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h
  HOSTCC  tools/gen_eth_addr
: No such file or directoryg file:
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:97: tools/gen_eth_addr] Error 2
make[1]: *** Deleting file 'tools/gen_eth_addr'
make: *** [Makefile:1722: tools-only] Error 2

Then seeing if adding --sysroot helps gives the following also-bizarre error:

  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  CHK     include/config/uboot.release
  CHK     include/generated/version_autogenerated.h
  CHK     include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h
  UPD     include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h

I'll be uploading a patch to fix issues with tools-only native Cygwin compiles and Android NDK cross-compiles on Linux shortly, but Android NDK cross-compiles on Cygwin could definitely still use some attention beyond my ability.

Thanks for you for your time!
