look in ftp.cygnus.com:pub/gnu-win32, or the web page at
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/
quoting the readme:
The gnu-win32 project is porting GNU programs to the Win32 API
environment (Windows NT/Windows 95).
and
The goal of this project, for Cygnus Support, is to have enough of a
Unix environment that the GNU tools (say gcc) can be reconfigured and
recompiled on a Win32 system. Other people will want to get programs
outside this scope working under the Win32 API (e.g. Tcl/Tk or
Perl)--we'd love to work with them to make this project as useful as
possible!
I believe that if you're interested in actually *using* it that
there's plenty to work with there. (I work on security, not compiler
tools, so I don't know for sure :-)
