What is the status of this issue? Will it ever get any resolution? Only if someone who cares enough about this issue steps up and does the work. That could be you: http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html The patch attached here is not a proper fix, as stated by its author: "Also as stated in an email reply sent to someone regarding gcc bug #52015, this is not a proper MinGW patch. It can break existing programs using the Windows versions of [v]swprintf (as it replaces them with the standard signatures), might(?) cause problems if the functions aren't inlined, and it is applied to post-build MinGW so it cannot be guaranteed that future libstdc++ changes won't make enabling this impossible. The patch is also missing a call to __builtin_va_end." http://tehsausage.com/mingw-to-string
