Since the actual packages aren't really being deleted when superseded, one could just save the pacman .db files to get the set of up-to-date packages at that time. I can't say if the old packages will stay up indefinitely. > Oth, I do think checking out older versions of the MINGW-packages would allow > to build coherent sets of libraries.

AFAIK there's no reason why you couldn't bootstrap an older toolchain using a newer toolchain. But this is not my area of expertise. -- David Macek
