You're not using the latest gcc, which is 4.8.1-3.  Any chance that
that's your problem?
Heh. I actually do have the latest gcc, but somehow the upgrade didn't
pick up the debug package (which showed as not installed in setup.exe).
I have manually upgraded it now.

OK. But doesn't the above show that the crash is occurring in gcc, not emacs?

BTW, how do you compile emacs from the sources given? I tried untarring
and patching, but I get the message:
configure: error: Emacs hasn't been ported to `x86_64-unknown-cygwin'
systems.
Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names.

One of the patches changes configure.ac, so you have to run autoreconf after applying it.
