I don't really understand the question. Do you want to build egcs-1.0.3a
for cygwin32 from source code? You can't really patch the binary
distribution, so you'll have to build from scratch. I have patches for
egcs-1.0.3a (plus *lots* of local changes -- take it at your own risk)
on my cygwin32 ftp area:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin32/snapashots/egcs-1.0.3a
egcs-1.0.3a really doesn't benefit cygwin32 users (it was released mostly
to support RedHat 5.x), so you might want to wait till egcs-1.1 is
released sometime early August. Lots of bug fixes and some new features
for Win32 (dllimport/export for example).
