You can try it out but it's important to keep in mind 2 things:

1. This is a patch that has not been accepted into CVS.  1.7.x is
    accomplishing the same thing by going a different path.

2. This patch still only affects cygwin1.dll.  There is no newlib
    patch.  So this doesn't get you any closer to your goal than the
    snapshot does.
