We build that compiler from the same tree (as a simple cross), so it's still the same problem. We still have to build those libraries somehow, we still need to have them in source control, etc. Our build farm likes to see a monolithic source tree, and we already support building cygwin out of that tree, building mingw out of it is a minor change. (actually, we build four compilers out of that tree: linux-linux-linux linux-linux-mingw linux-linux-arm linux-mingw-arm)
