You must not be paying attention. I (and others) have been responding
to this thread on the mailing list. To answer your question: I have no
desire to enter into personal dialogs about cygwin. That's why we have
a cygwin mailing list.
Also, just in case it isn't clear, we will eventually be releasing gcc
3.3.3 (and even 3.4), too, so this exercise is pretty much academic.
