No. The worst part is winsup/Makefile.common, which needs a lot of tweaking. I have a local sandbox with lots of ugly changes to build with Mingw64.

You're not wrong. I fixed Cygwin, but the upstream repo only contains the changes required to the sources, not the changes required to the build machinery. That's still a TODO. For now I concentrated on the 64 bit changes required in Mingw64. It's a lot of work and I'm still a bit vague on the order of things on the TODO list.
