Well, if you're talking about folks that were already compiling their
application with a dynamic dependency on mingwm10.dll, and thus were NOT
shipping a "single monolithic executable" as so many mingw users seem to
desire...

then the solution for those folks is to link against, and ship, the
shared libgcc_s_1.dll, instead of against the mingwm10.dll.  Then (a)
they don't leak, and (b) they don't rely on static TLS callbacks, so it
still works on 9x/Me -- if I understand Aaron's original message.
