libgcc, as a target GCC library, falls under the runtime exception
(provided you don't emit intermediate compilation representations and
process them with GPL-incompatible code generators on the way to final
object files)

From: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1-faq.en.html

"You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by combining
the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such propagation
would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that all Target Code
was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You may then convey such a
combination under terms of your choice, consistent with the licensing of
the Independent Modules."

But it sounds like something that we should investigate, the former should
also link to libgcc and winpthreads, or neither should. It's *probably* not
serious, but if you want to ensure there's a record of it, please open a
bug regarding the DLL mismatch at
