None, if you are willing and able to patch the odd ones to use system
libraries instead of bundled ones, to not treat Cygwin as Win32 (because
hey, there's "win" in that string) and making sure the tests actually
pass, reporting such bugs upstream (preferably with a patch) and
skipping the update or carrying a local patch as long as upstream is
mulling over a fix.  To summarize, not really any more advantages than
getting any other package from the distribution instead of building it
yourself.

Achim.
