gcc-5.2.0-1 has been uploaded for 32bit and 64bit Cygwin.
This is the first series of the 5.x releases, and should be considered
as experimental as such.
Have you managed to work around the ABI change in gcc-5 [1], or will
this require a mass rebuild at the point gcc-5 becomes 'current'?

As far as I know, every gcc release will break C++ ABI, so it would mean
rebuilding everything C++.
According to the Red Hat blog above, the last time g++ caused an ABI
change was back in the 3.x days, so it hasn't happened for a while. Ah
well, we have maintainers for most packages in Cygwin, so we'll have to
co-ordinate a rebuild.
