Anyway, according to this stackoverflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17242516/mingw-w64-threads-posix-vs-win32#answer-30390278 using winpthreads actually means that posix threads are being used. So, this is not a matter of mingw+win32 vs mingw+posix threads, but rather that call_once is not supported by mingw. -- Enrico
