Cygwin and hash synchronization?

[Bryce McKinlay]

So, does hash synchronization work on cygwin or not? I seem to remember 
someone saying the cygwin binutils doesn't support alignment of static 
data correctly, which would be consistent with this report:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-05/msg02665.html

And what about mingw? Does the linker for mingw not suffer from this 
problem?

Basically I just want to know if this patch should be applied, although 
Hans has said he might be able to work around the alignment dependency 
in the synchronization code so it might not be a problem for 3.2.

regards

Bryce.
