[Buildroot] mpfr error on cygwin for arm

Hi Bernhard,

Per your request, now attached the patch cygwin-3a.svndiff as an svn diff to the current trunk.

Well, that one applies cleanly, thanks, but you do not use the corrected extensions at all?

How does that help with building a useable rootfs? Just curious..

This patch is only the first step. It got me past gmp and mpfr. This has been good enough to build a cygwin toolchain with a host gdb, which in turn has been used to compile, debug and run a kernel :). Maybe this is also good enough for a first check-in, is it?

I see that more work is ahead of me before I can build the rootfs, and it would be good if I can verify my understanding of what needs to be done, using mpfr as an example:
-I need to change package/mpfr/mpfr.mk (hardcoded extensions, maybe strip cmd).

-This package/mpfr folder is the only place where I can make changes; anything else about the mpfr module just downloaded / configured code, right?
