I didn't bother to report that particular issue since
http://bugs.python.org/issue4709 (which has been reported nearly 4 years
ago) isn't being fixed and I can't provide a testcase that fails...
Other bugs that I hit when using mingw-w64:
http://bugs.python.org/issue11566
http://bugs.python.org/issue12641
http://bugs.python.org/issue11722
I reported http://bugs.python.org/issue16472 just for being complete.
I agree that reading bug comments by core devs is really frustrating,
especially since distutils is frozen (which means for them that bugs
don't get fixed) and python 2.7 is bugfix only (which means that they
don't care about it).
I am installing python and have to patch the installation so that it is
usable (-mno-cygwin, this bug a broken CC="ccache gcc"). That is a shame.
Cheers, Vaclav
