To be fair, the folks around MinGW-w64 and related (including MSYS2) are very agile and eager to fix bugs.

Note the wiki page you link to is just a random dump of general MinGW toolchains, originally created to find out which MinGW toolchain we want to use in our packages. It now has sort of it's own life, but nothing is there is official, or even semi-official.

The only official setup we also test right now is using the exact mingw-builds toolchain we're using from cmd.exe . Anyhow, patches are of course welcome for other setups too, but it's important to emphasize this.
