Your best choice :-) would be to purchase a support agreement from
Cygnus for the processor type of your choice which would get you two
regression-tested binary distributions a year on CD-ROM plus
high-quality technical support (fast turn-around times on problem
reports).  The support is probably most of what you'd be actually
paying for; it's absolutely critical for a lot of people.  But the
regression testing against target processors is pretty valuable too.
(If you have questions pertaining to our product line, please send
some email to info AT cygnus DOT com).

Or you could try to use the latest gnu-win32 distribution (after
installing the EGCS compiler from Mumit) to build a Win32 x
processor-type from the latest EGCS sources...
