Well, please note that you still need to apply formally through the GSoC website to stand a chance to be selected, that does not happen here. We want students to contact us prior to applying so that their proposals and goals make sense. As far as improving GCC on Windows is concerned, we may find it challenging to find you a mentor (I am CCing Jonathan Yong, the cygwin and mingw-w64 maintainer, maybe he has an idea what could be done in this area as a GSoC project and who might mentor it?). Meanwhile, make sure you can build GCC from sources on Windows (I admit I would not know how to do it myself!) and run the testsuite. Good luck, Martin
