Yes, of course there is, and that is exactly what I was trying to tell
you.  Look on any *Cygwin* mirror site and you'll find the gcc source
packages, which include all the Cygwin-local patches.  Note that the
filenames I quoted are "gcc-core-3.3.3-3-src.tar.bz2" and not
"gcc-core-3.3.3.tar.gz".  The former is the Cygwin source package name,
the latter is the upstream source tarball.

You're looking at a GNU mirror site, not a Cygwin mirror site.  Those
are upstream, stock FSF releases of gcc.  mirrors.kernel.org mirrors
many projects and you're looking at the wrong one.  You want:  
<ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/gcc/>
