When its ready.  

GCC 3.0.1 builds with mingw host and target - after patching with Mumit
Khan's patchset for 3.0.  But there are two serious problems, still
with 3.0.1 as with 3.0.

1) Dll support for C++ classes is broken.
2) Iostream component of libstdc++ has bugs (cin doesn't work).

The first one is a biggy and derives from basic changes in the way
attributes are being handled in Gcc 3.x.  The second one has a
workaround until it is fixed properly - use the STLport iostream lib
which has better support for native w32 IO and  also has some native
locale support. 

I'll keep working on it, but right now it is not high priority.
