I don't include GPC with the Cygwin GCC distribution currently because:

I am not sure what this means. As the person responsible for the Mingw GPC binaries, I need to understand what you mean. Can you please explain? Thx.
I have now gcc here: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.1/... But gpc is still there: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/...
Does this work?
I think it should work. That's why the directories contain version numbers, precisely so that they don't conflict. (I have currently 4 different backend versions installed on my system plus various cross-compilers.)
The only conflict would be the executables in /usr/bin. But since you shouldn't install a `gcc' executable built with a GPC distribution (only the `gpc' executable; and the `gcc' built with your current GCC version), there should be no problem. Again, that's what I do (my gcc executable happens to be a different backend version than all of my installed GPC versions).
