Cygwin gcc vs official gcc?


What is the state of/reason for Cygwin/Mingw specific mods to official
gcc sources?  I assume these mods will eventually make it in to the
official tree, right?  What is the typical migration path?

I ask, because I am trying to do DWARF2 development work for Cygwin.

I thought that I should start with current gcc (3.2.2) and binutils
(2.13.2.1) sources (or CVS).  But, I just ran into a double alignment ABI
breakage with the official gcc sources.  I have applied the proper patch
locally to fix it, but I wonder why it has not been officially submitted
yet?  I also wonder how many other gotcha's there are?

What should a Cygwin developer use as a base for binutils and gcc
development work?

Thanks.
