I'm sorry, I didn't notice this report because the component wasn't
"libctf": mea culpa. Clearly I need to be searching subjects as well :)
These should definitely be fixed, but to prevent the recurrence of
things like this I'd like to know how people compile on mingw. I've been
using the Cygwin->mingw cross-compilers, which show none of these
problems, so clearly a *proper* mingw compilation uses something
different. What is it? :)
