Hi,
I heard that it was committed to GCC. I just want to mention for the
record that I still think it was a mistake. I also think that
obfuscating mingw-w64 with proposed changes would be a mistake.

I'd argue that this requirement will need to be relaxed at some point
and fixing threading support would be a good reason to do that. If
someone really wants win9x, winpthreads could still be used (or
simply one could use an older version of GCC).
This is valid on its own. However extending or modifying the win32
thread model is risky on almost all aspects:
* Backward compatibility, because it's default on some platforms
e.g. Debian;
* Availability, because it will drop support for XP;
* Stability, because some people may disagree with me on use of some
undocumented APIs.
If we follow that logic, we'd never change existing code or move forward.
My opinion is that a 'clean', better designed solution should be
preferred to such boilerplate code.
Well, I don't think that the proposed solution is clean.
Cheers,
Jacek
