I've considered using it, but ended up using my own version in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143765

The reason is that looking for "gcc" in PATH might work (and does work for me personally), but only because mingw-gcc package provides "gcc.exe" as an alias for things like "i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8.2.exe" (and more often than not the package maintainer has to make that alias deliberately, and if the package maintainer does not (by choice or omission), you won't have it). Doing such things in autotools-based build system, where configure script already detected correct $CC for us, is not a good strategy.
