Yes they were considered. See
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2009-August/001997.html
for the discussion. After this mailing list discussion, we continued on IRC
(FreeNode, #fedora-mingw). It wasn't clear to us whether it was safe to apply
these patches as none of us is familiar enough with the GCC internals. Next to
this we're using a different exception model right now (which is planned to be
changed for Fedora 13). We all agreed that if the patches are really necessary
then they should be upstreamed by the MinGW folks anyway. So in the end we
refrained from applying the MinGW patches (at least for now).
