I would consider it on topic, if it really is Cygwin-specific, and is
useful.  (As opposed to something like "when will gcc-3.1 be released
for Cygwin?" etc.)  Certainly there are Cygwin users who are having to
build gcc-3.1 themselves.

In fact, if it can be summarised concisely, and the Cygwin package is
still a long way off, I could add something to the FAQ about it.
(Even if it's just a link to a particular message or thread in the
list archives.)

Regards,
David
