For a start, you should set your platforms like this:
build = i386-unknown-mingw32 host = i386-unknown-mingw32 target = i386-unknown-cygwin32
"GHC configuration does not support differing host/target (i.e., cross-compiling)" with both the 6.6 and 6.10.1 binaries. Is an existing cross-compiler really necessary? If a stage1 compiler is created in any case, can't it just be made to be a cross-compiler?
If you're really interested in getting this working, expect to have to do a lot of hacking in GHC's internals, build system, and libraries. We're here to help, of course.
Seems like it will be easier to switch to another version control system. -- Stop Gnomes and other pests! Purchase Windows today!
