For Gnash, yes, but I'm not doing anything with it as yet with Cygnal.

Thanks.  Untested as of this writing.

I believe this will work for me, for now.  One of the issues with this, 
however, is that mingw is an identifier both as a host and as a target.  I 
have four related host/target combinations; I haven't got them all 
working.  Here are the internal labels I've got.
        gcc3-cygwin: GCC 3.4.4 under cygwin
        gcc3-cygwin-for-mingw: GCC 3.4.4 under cygwin host cross-compiling 
for mingw target
        gcc3-mingw: GCC 3.4.5 under mingw
        gcc4-mingw: GCC 4.2.1 under mingw
Eventually I'll have likely also have gcc4-cygwin and 
gcc4-cygwin-for-mingw, for when they release.
