Okay.  Each bootstrap certainly takes a long time.

>From what I understand, people do actively maintain MinGW (one person you 
didn't mention is Danny Smith, who released the 3.3.3 MinGW patch set and has 
been active in my 3.4 bootstrap failure bug, PR12974), but the critical thing 
that they don't do is bootstrap MinGW routinely on MSYS, as I do.  Instead 
they use Cygwin.

Perhaps you could help figure out when and where cygming.h, which 3.3.3 seems 
to want, disappeared from the 3.3 branch.  I looked at the CVS web interface, 
which didn't say anything about cygming.h being removed.
