We're making good progress on getting patches for Cygwin merged upstream. I'm updating the latest in https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/5368 including a 'README-patches.md' to track the status of the patches. I'd like to see the git repos on these packages updated, but I don't know the process here. Also, I'd bet that having at least a test version of llvm would be helpful to the rust effort (I think msys2 is being used at this point, at least the bug report that llvm-config wasn't work went there instead of here).
