This is not a gcc issue in the slightest, it's a MinGW issue. And it
has been fixed there some time ago. Once you install the fixed MinGW
runtime and recompile gcc it works fine. There are binaries (at least
for the gcc.exe driver frontend, the primary one affected) posted on the
MinGW mailing list, but nobody has gotten around to posting rebuilt
binaries at the SF download area.
