is there any chance for the MINGW version of gfortran to be as
updated as the Cygwin version is?
Although I realize that I've not been updating the mingw binaries very
often in the recent past, it's now made even more difficult by the
fact that mainline GCC (the 4.3 branch) has been broken on mingw for
now 3 months (not the fortran compiler, but the GCC core itself). (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30589 for more details)
gcc-4.3 core build seems to be totally broken on cygwin now as well.
Although I'd like to see gfortran for 64-bit Windows, I don't see much
point in continued work on Windows, if the gcc core developers aren't in
favor, or are being discouraged by Microsoft, even for 32-bit. Windows
never was accepted among the primary supported targets for gcc, and I
suppose the case could be made now that it is less deserving of support.
