Re: [Mingw-users] Building GCC Compilers From Source

As you most certainly have realized the MinGW project publishes
binaries ready to use on Win32 as well as the complete set of
sources these binaries were built from.

Together with the above sources the patches used to create them
from the original sources as released from the GCC project are
published at the same location.

Now to give an answer to your original question:
Yes, you have to modify the original sources as released by the
GCC project and all information that's required to do that is
published by the MinGW project (as required by the GPL anyway).

I assume you did use the orginal sources from the GCC project ?!

Best,
