  I certainly am; my long-term goal is a) to synchronize upstream and
downstream so that in the end there are no cygwin-specific patches needed and
anyone can just build the plain sources from upstream and get a fully
compatible compiler that generates fully compatible executables, and b) to add
any missing support so that we can get features like LTO and graphite working.

  I think we're fairly close to there already, but there might be some minor
incompatibilities in odd corners of C++ related to typeinfos and dynamic
typecasts.

    cheers,
