Any progress on this very nasty libgcc bug?
I've been struggling with random python aborts in the last past weeks, 
pointing more or less to verifyable_object_isvalid with quite unhelpful 
backtraces, when I finally found this report and a potential fix at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00528.html.
See also http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-08/msg00201.html.
The fix seems to do the trick for me though I cannot really rely on any 
Cygwin part linked with cyggcc_s.dll unless I recompile it.
Any plan to trigger a complete rebuild of Cygwin packages using a fixed 
GCC? :)

Best,
JP
