Hi Ralf,
Your assumption is correct. RHEL6 only supports packages based on the old MinGW
packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:MinGW_Old
One of the rules of EPEL is that it's forbidden to replace packages which are
already in the RHEL trees. Therefore we can't introduce the mingw-w64 toolchain
and the new packaging macros in EPEL unless Red Hat decides to introduce the
base mingw-w64 packages in RHEL6. As I'm not a Red Hat employee I don't have
any further information about any possible plans Red Hat might have about
introducing the mingw-w64 toolchain in RHEL6
