Currently the best option for mingw is mingw-w64 for that (besides what the 
name suggests) supports both 32 and 64-bit targets. Also it works with any 
version of GCC newer than 4.4, AFAIR.

mingw uses GCC's stdc++ and adds only a few limitations comparing to other 
stdc++ targets.

Yes, SEH is a problem. FWIW, GCC 4.8 will have limited SEH support for 64-bit 
targets.
