Here's your RFU:

wget -e robots=off --cut-dirs=2 -np -nH -A'*2.1.0-2*' -r \
     http://etr-usa.com/cygwin64/expat/

There are no setup.hint files in it.  All packages except 
libexpat1-devel have a setup.hint on sourceware anyway because Yaakov's 
initial upload of expat-2.1.0-1 included setup.hint files.

I've just added this on sourceware.
