I'm pretty sure that the compiler e.g. in mingw-builds is just a stock gcc.

I agree with Jason: I think ANGLE is yet another (strong) reason to go for 
MinGW-w64 based distribution. I'd personally recommend MinGW-builds, since this 
is the one most active people here in Qt are working with :)

IMO we should keep Qt 5.0 compiling with Mingw.org (4.7 gcc), but not endorse 
it any more. 

My 2 cents,

Kai
