I also discovered two more gcc macros which were missing updates for
x86_64-cygwin.  I have added those patches, and incorporated your x86_64
patches into mine, into a 4.8 branch of my gcc port:

http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/gcc;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/4.8

I am building native and 32-to-64 compilers with this patchset now.

So I noticed; for now, I've reverted to -5 and MAKEOPTS=-j1.

Well, with the sourceware upgrade, we've got a few days before we can
proceed much further either way.
