Yeah, I agree that such patches should be upstreamed ASAP. However, I
think it's best to keep code generated with our mingw32-gcc compatible
with code generated by mingw.org's gcc as several people are using both
our toolchain and the mingw.org toolchain.

I'll test this one later today.

I just searched the GCC bugzilla and the only relevant bug I could find
is http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34684
It looks like the mingw folks didn't try to upstream this one yet.
Could you please ask the mingw folks what this patch exactly does and
when they're going to upstream it?
