Before we can compile the EE-GCC we need one more essential library for the whole compilation process called gettext. In the first step you should have already downloaded and unpacked the source tarball for it (if not please refer to the Cygwin step of this tutorial on where to find the sources and how to unpack them).

• Change to the directory where you unpacked the gettext sources
  
  cd /gcc/gettext-0.10.35
  (please don't bother with newer versions since they won't compile cleanly on a CygWin environment. Those who use LiNUX or QNX may try out the newer libs)
  
  
• Now we use the configure tool to build our makefile
  
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-included-gettext
  
  
• Now we compile the library with the makefile configure created
  
  make
  
  
• Now it's time to check the compilation and install the library and headers so that the compiler find the library
  
  aliaspath='/usr/share/locale:/usr/local/share/locale'
  make check
  make install-strip

After the last step we have a libintl.a file sitting in the intl subdirectory which we will need in the next step of compiling the GCC !
