I don't understand step 3a.  You should do ths configure, then just
type make.  At the correct point it will go and configure and make
newlib then winsup.  newlib shouldn't need any special mucking about.

And yes, you should be able to just take the newly rebuilt
new-cygwin1.dll and install it in the old install location as
cygwin1.dll and make things work (I'm assuming your tools are of B20
or 20.1 vintage).

Run make with -k?  It should be a clean install except for makeinfo
failing perhaps.
