Win32 native. I use a cygwin environment to build, but use -mno-cygwin to
target
ming so there's no dependencies on cygwin.dll. (Oops, I forgot to mention
that
switch on the web page!). Also included in the binaries is a (hopefully)
thread safe
version of libgcc.a (/usr/local/libgccgcj.a).

Er, how do you do that?
