Well, I do have a Windows box, but last time I checked, there was a dozen of flavours of MinGW. Stephan, can you point at whatever packages needs to be downloaded to try?
You can grab my MinGW distro from: http://nuwen.net/mingw.html
It's just a self-extracting archive (no installer, doesn't modify your system). Note that it's now based on mingw-w64, but the bootstrap.sh problems affect both mingw-w64 and traditional mingw.org.
Stephan, suppose I was living in a cave, and all I've got is Windows XP 32-bit. If I try your archive I get error that the binaries are 64-bit bits. Does that mean I'm out of luck? Or I can use either 'standard' mingw or build your distribution for 32-bits? But then, it seems like your second and third patches affect only mingw; you know better whether they are good or not. Can you just commit those, and I'll ask release managers about merging to release branch. Thanks, Volodya
