C99 complex numbers in cygwin?

I'm trying to port a program to cygwin that uses the C99 complex number standard and the complex.h library (carg, csin, etc.). According to the gcc web page, this is mostly implemented in gcc 3.0 and above, but I can't find it in the cygwin gcc package. Is this on purpose or an oversight? I f

Who's maintaining GCC for Cygwin? Ours is getting old. Gcc 3.4.1 came out a couple of weeks ago. I could go ahead and compile it, but I don't know where the patches are to make it use -mno-cygwin. Mingw is using Gcc 3.4.0 as a candidate. I seen our version of 3.4.0, as experimental, but could not f

I'm using Cygwin 1.5.10-3 and have found what seems to be a fork/mmap bug. I have two examples where a forked child cannot access memory that was mmapped by the parent.
