It works fine OOTB, but it doesn't support the additional cygwin facilities.  
I don't suppose any of us who report on gcc-testsuite are applying the 
additional cygwin patches.  I hope that gcc-testsuite entries, and occasional 
acceptance of cygwin-specific patches to the "official" gcc, provide 
sufficient evidence that i686-pc-cygwin is being maintained actively.
