At one point, yes. I explained the reasoning behind it a couple of
months ago on the cygwin-apps list:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-03/msg00060.html
As cgf wrote, I'm just working on porting Cygwin to use Mingw64 headers
and libs while retaining the ability to build with mingw32/w32api
headers. However, at one point we will probably switch to mingw64
entirely for building the Cygwin DLL.
