I cannot remember the last time when I used MinGW and don't think that it would produce a working program (wasn't there missing support for thread local storage?). Current Linux distributions include support for mingw-w64 cross compilations, but not for MinGW. And finally MinGW only supports 32 bit Windows which looses importance nowadays. Therefore dropping MinGW support and only supporting mingw-w64 would be fine for me. Regards, Stefan
