No.

gcc already correctly relies on w32api.  It is supposed to be downloaded
automatically.

I don't know why it wouldn't be downloaded but the solution to "I don't
have *blah* on my system." is not to just put *blah* in the base category.
If we did that we'd end up with base containing everything.
