I know this is feature in at least one quite wide-spread antivirus. It implements something called "file reputation service" (in a cloud) and it simply sees any (executable) file which it does not know as potentially dangerous.
The logic is that if it sees the file more often and for some time (and it still has not find a path to a virus database), it is likely safe and legitmate file. Some shields (e.g. web shield) may ask the cloud about the file reputation when you download it and it then may present the warning in the browser via browser extension. So as soon as it will see the file more often (and assuming there is no malware), the warning shall cease to appear. If you are using this particular antivirus, then mingw-w64 team cannot do anything with that: Any newly built executable file with unique hash shall trigger the same warning until it becomes more wide-spread. Other AV vendors may implement something similar too.
