gcc needs some substantial patching to to build on Windows. 
The details depend on whether you are building a 64-bit or a 32-bit gcc.

There are two projects on Sourceforge which deal with gcc  on Windows: 

MinGW  (32-bit) and MinGW-w64 (64-bit)

The mailing lists for those projects are the best places to go to for information about 
 building on Windows for a Windows target.
