Someone recently said that using gcc and distccd on cygwin worked fine for small apps, but crashed sometimes compiling larger things. During that discussion, someone asked whether one could just compile gcc to run on mingw to avoid possible cygwin problems. For reference, here's a link to the gcc bug report about this being hard; it contains a link to the latest patch that fixes collect2 so it runs on mingw. http://gcc.gnu.org/PR14316
Also note that for building some targets for host=mingw, an additional fix/patch is needed for fixinc / fixinc.sh. AFAIK, there isn't (yet) a PR for this (I've been meaning to do this for a while). The targets that I know of that require a fix are avr and m68k, but there could very well be others.
Looking at your previous post, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-04/msg00027.html I see I'm just repeating stuff you've already said. Ah, well, it bears repeating :-) Do you have any sort of URL for the fixing patch you mentioned? (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-04/msg01295.html looks related, but that's for gcc-3.2; 3.3 is supposedly fixed.) - Dan
