Which ones are you talking about? There are different reasons for
different patches.

You haven't been listening.  You can do exactly that with GCC trunk
There are indeed patches that have not yet been implemented.  The most
significant  will probably never be because the authour doesn't have
copyright assignment on file.  Others I have submitted. and they have
been approved by Chris Faylor in capacity as win32 target maintainer but
not by other maintainers of more generic parts of GCC.   However,
GCC 3.4 builds out of box for mingw32 for all languages  except Ada.
