I will begin to push patches this week to gcc upstream. It is now
again in stage 1, and well, I would like to let settle down new
sourceware hardware a bit before posting.
You can find most important required patches at
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/64bit/ folder.
The mingw-w64 compiler is required at some places for building
cygwin-base stuff (utils etc), but in general cygwin64-compiler is
used.
