I am reaching the end of my tether now. For the last week I have been attempting to build a usable version of OpenOCD with the Amontec Accelerator driver in (i.e. --enable_amtjtagaccel option) without success.
I have tried several versions of the Autotools, 3 different versions of gcc, and both CygWin & MinGW
all have failed in some way or another.
In a fit of desperation I copied the source folder over to my Mandrake system, whereupon it built perfectly first time. I would use it on this sytem except that it doesn’t have a parallel port. 
Does anyone have a built binary of OpenOCD that I can use in a windows XP or Cygwin shell?
I am now in the luvverly position that I can’t safely build anything in Cygwin or MinGW because the multiple toolset has pretty much hosed everything…ARGHHH!
Please someone save my sanity !!!
