Here are the requirements for "gcc-core":
binutils, cygwin-devel, libatomic1, libgomp1, libisl15, libmpc3, libquadmath0,
libssp0, w32api-headers, w32api-runtime, windows-default-manifest
and for "w32api-runtime":
w32api-headers
Here are the requirements for "mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core":
libisl13, libmpc3, mingw64-x86_64-binutils, mingw64-x86_64-headers,
mingw64-x86_64-runtime, mingw64-x86_64-windows-default-manifest,
mingw64-x86_64-winpthreads
and for "mingw64-x86_64-runtime":
libisl13, libmpc3, mingw64-x86_64-binutils, mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core,
mingw64-x86_64-headers, mingw64-x86_64-windows-default-manifest,
mingw64-x86_64-winpthreads
so "mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core" and "mingw64-x86_64-runtime" require each other. I
think that the requirements for "mingw64-x86_64-runtime" should be adjusted on
so that they are similar to "w32api-runtime".

What is the actual problem you are facing?

i already described it: when 2 things depend on each other in this way, that is
an error:
http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_dependency
while setup.exe may account for this, it doesnt change the fact that this is not
correct. ideally one should depend on the other, and *not* vice versa. in this
case "gcc" should depend on "runtime", and not the other way around. the fix is
pretty simple; with "mingw64-x86_64-runtime.cygport", change:
REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core"
to
REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers"
compare this to "w32api-runtime.cygport":
REQUIRES="w32api-headers"

That is not a problem affecting Cygwin.

Perhaps in the next rebuild.

Nowhere does this page substantiate what you're saying; it doesn't say
that the existence of a circular dependency is /ipso facto/ a form of
error.
If A cannot be used unless B is also installed, and if B cannot be used
unless A is also installed, then there is a cycle in the dependency
graph. The packaging system must express the cycle (and handle it). This
means that if a user selects A for installation, it must be
automatically accompanied by an installation of B, and vice versa.
If you say that the dependency which is stated in the package system is
incorrect, then you have to prove that either A or B can be usefully
installed by itself. (Or even both, in which case they are independent.)
If the circular dependency is right, but unwanted, it can only be broken
by making some code changes in A or B, or both (and only then changing
the dependency expressions at the package level). You can't simply say,
"I don't like circular dependencies; I will break any cycles in the
package system dependency definitions, whether or not they reflect the
underlying packages".
The only situation in which that would be justified would be that the
package system is too weak to deal with circular dependencies; it gets
into an infinite loop or whatever, so cycles must be avoided.

No, that's not an error. That's a perfectly valid and often used configuration
setup in various package managers.

By the way this is not the only package group with circular dependencies.
There are more in Cygwin distribution, that can be observed with cygcheck-dep:
$ cygcheck-dep -cSIO
( at-spi2-core libatspi0 )
( bash coreutils tzcode )
( biber texlive-collection-bibtexextra )
( cygwin-debuginfo )
( desktop-file-utils gamin libfam0 libglib2.0_0 shared-mime-info )
( evolution-data-server libebackend1.2_10 libebook-contacts1.2_2 libebook1.2_16 libecal1.2_19 libedata-book1.2_25 libedata-cal1.2_28 libedataserver1.2_21 )
( gconf-desktop-schemas GConf2 libgconf2_4 )
( girepository-GstCheck1.0 libgstreamer1.0-devel )
( gnome-online-accounts libgoa-backend1.0_1 libgoa1.0_0 )
( libaqbanking35 libaqebics0 libaqhbci24 libaqofxconnect7 libaqpaypal0 )
( libautotrace3 libMagickC++6_8 libMagickCore6_5 libMagickWand6_5 libpstoedit0 )
( libdbi-drivers libdbi1 )
( libfm4 libmenu-cache3 menu-cache )
( libmailutils-sieve-extensions libmailutils5 )
( libopenldap2_4_2 libsasl2_3 )
( libopenmpi12 openmpi )
( libupower-glib1 upower )
( mingw64-i686-gcc-core mingw64-i686-runtime )
( mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core mingw64-x86_64-runtime )
( php-Archive_Tar php-Console_Getopt php-PEAR php-Structures_Graph php-XML_Util )
( python2-incremental python2-twisted )
( python2-sphinx python2-sphinxcontrib-websupport )
( python3-incremental python3-twisted )
( python3-sphinx python3-sphinxcontrib-websupport )
( python-docutils python-pygments python-sphinx )
( ruby ruby-io-console ruby-psych ruby-rake ruby-rdoc rubygems )
( tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng )
( tesseract-training-core tesseract-training-util )
( texlive texlive-collection-basic )
( xf86-video-dummy xf86-video-nested xorg-server )
And with replacements for obsolete packages being taken into account (cygcheck-dep -cSI)
there is also libfm-qt3 which turns out to be depended on itself.

This is by upstream design.
ImageMagick and Autotrace are using each other library.
