I'm wondering if the problem is not how I compiled bash, but how I compiled 
readline.  Dave, any pointers I should try or maybe a missed compiler flag I 
should have used to build libreadline7 with gcc4?  I'm shooting in the dark, 
since I can't seem to reproduce the crash.

It's more than just patch files - it also includes the .cygport file that uses 
those patch files.  So yes, this is expected; 
quoting /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash.README:

Build instructions:
  unpack bash-3.2.49-23-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
         unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport bash-3.2.49-23 all
