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.

Have you asked on the darcs-users@ list for a cygwin binary build? I know these are getting pretty rare now, but someone may have already produced one. -- Don
