Looks like MinGW's "libpthread-2.dll" got renamed to "pthreadGC2.dll"<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.devel/4249>at some point. So Rust 0.7 won't work with a fresh MinGW installation unless users downgrade libpthread to v2.8 (mingw-get upgrade "libpthread=2.8.0-3").
However, previous Rust releases had used libpthread v2.9, so, perhaps, this change wasn't intentional?
