Summary:                    fail to build on pc-cygwin
Description: 
I'm using buildroot-20060107.tar.bz2 on a pc-cygwin platform with a
mipsel-linux target. So far I have not been able to build successfully.
Here are several of the problems I have ran into and some solutions.

1) In buildroot/Makefile lines 70, 71, 72 are similar to:
	    #include toolchain/*/*.mk
These do not glob correctly with make 3.80, but work fine with bash
3.00.16. I ran ls saving the output to a file and replaced each include
line with the expanded results (ugly, but effective). This is probably a
cygwin/make bug.

2) buildroot/package/sed/sed.mk line 69 is:
	    ln -s $$SED $(HOST_SED_DIR)/$(SED_TARGET_BINARY)
I changed it to:
	    ln -sf $$SED $(HOST_SED_DIR)/$(SED_TARGET_BINARY)
This fixed the problem with the link already existing when running make
again.

3) The CONFIG_UPDATE macro in package/gnuconfig/gnuconfig.mk needs to use
cp -f as some of the config.sub files, etc. from the tar balls are read
only and the cp fails.
