configuring buildroot for ARM using Cygwin

Thanks, I'm going to try that now. Presumably that does more than just
produce the exact same binaries but with a different name?

I don't see anywhere in the menuconfig where you can define compiler
specific things such as thumb-interworking, etc. 
Do I need to make a separate pass or edit the gcc/binutils/uclibc
configs to do that sort of stuff. I've had a good look for documentation
or tutorials on this but am having trouble finding any.

Sorry if all this is obvious to the experienced.

buildroot hardcodes the host to $ARCH-pc-linux-gnu ... shouldnt be
too hard to add an override option so people could type in their
own suffix ...

in the meantime, try editing package/Makefile.in and change the
GNU_HOST_NAME setting to:
GNU_HOST_NAME:=$(HOST_ARCH)-pc-cygwin
