I'm guessing that was done because releases of MinGW runtime and the
MinGW port of GCC are not in sync.  So people who have a GCC
installation and upgrade to a later MinGW runtime expect to have this
problem solved, but the way you seem to assume tjis to happen is by
them having to build an updated GCC or wait for an update of the GCC
distribution.

mingw.org's MinGW currently doesn't offer GCC newer than 5.3.0, so
this solution is not yet available to MinGW users.  Maybe soon it will
be.
