I have tracked down the cause of Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/306210>:
When you compile C++ programs using Debian's mingw32 cross-compiler package
(currently based on mingw32-3.4.2.20040916.1), then the compiled C++ programs do
not have large file support enabled.
The simple fix is to enable LFS in libstdc++-v3/crossconfig.m4.
This bug probably also applies to GCC versions 3.4.3 .. 4.0
