No. Cygwin itself is a libc. Therefore there is no need for any other, nor would any other even build, since a libc is a very low level system component. > if not how can i create a cross compilation tool chain. Sign. Native and cross are two totally different things. If you've been talking about a cross toolchain this whole time then that changes all the answers. You can't assume we know what you want when you write these terse questions with no details. It is completely possible to build a cross toolchain under Cygwin that includes glibc. See for example the crosstool script and the crossgcc mailing list. But you certainly can't just download glibc and run "./configure", that is a *native* build, and there is no way that will ever work. And just so we're perfectly clear, the resulting output of this cross toolchain would never be executable or usable under Cygwin or under Windows.
