This is just a change that affects the mingw-w64's runtime, correct?  If 
so, this has the possibility of being substantially confusing for 
mingw.org users, because I do not believe mingw.org has plans to support 
crt2u.o.

I'm thinking 4.5 might be a good time to make separate targets or 
separate sub-targets for mingw.org and mingw-w64.  Otherwise, 
implementation differences like this are just going to get more and more 
painful.  What do you think?
