There *is* an updated release snapshot of mingw-runtime-3.10, available
for direct download from the SourceForge site:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.10-20060909-1-src.tar.gz?download
I created that specifically to address the cross-compiler build problem,
to which Michael refers; otherwise it is identical to the earlier release
package. There is one known caveat: the earlier 3.10 release included a
buggy math.h, and the bug remains in the updated snapshot; you need to
patch it, as Michael has described in his build instructions, IIRC.

Currently, neither Cygwin nor MinGW offer a GCC-4.x build for the Win32
platform; the reasons for this have been discussed, several times in
recent weeks, on this very list -- please search the archives.
To reiterate, the principal reason is that there are a significant number
of outstanding regressions, which affect the Win32 builds; we do not feel
comfortable offering a GCC-4.x build for Win32, as a stable release, until
the number of these is reduced significantly. Until we are ready to offer
a native GCC-4.x build, we cannot realistically be expected to recommend
a Linux-x-MinGW build, using this codebase; however, please don't let our
reticence hinder you, if you wish to experiment with it.
Regards,
Keith.
