It's worked with both downloaded an cygwin gcc 3.3.1 sources, I now have a n elf cross compiler on my cygwin.

Newlib is an alternative to the GNU C Library (glibc), especially suited for embedded systems. The compiler flag --with-newlib basically tells gcc not to rely on a (big) glibc being present, but to compile only the absolute minimum and rely on some other C library (newlib, or Something Completely Different (tm)) to provide the necessary functions.

Glad it worked.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
