Off topic and incorrect, as the mingw one offered by FX Coudert worked
for me.  I'd continue dreaming of a 64-bit Cygwin, if I thought that
might come true.
I'm making another effort to build and test gcc for cygwin (32-bit)
under cygwin on Windows XP64. You'll be able to judge the success by
whether it shows up on gcc-testsuite. libdecnumber configure went bad on
me several times, but I doubt cygwin is strictly to blame.
