Thanks for checking! I'd begun to think I'd never hear about MinGW breakages until after a release...

That's weak....I wonder why we don't hear about this problem on other GCCs? The standard CentOS builds use versions bracketing the official MinGW version. I guess it was just a temporary breakdown in the compiler's understanding of the language, and everyone else is past it now.

With MinGW seeming to stagnate, I wonder if using Cygwin's gcc with --mno-cygwin is a better option?
