Comment (by gk):

 Oh, I forgot to mention:
 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011 is a good read as
 well. The ffmpeg people seem to use a different workaround to avoid the
 crashing (mentioned in the mingw-w64 mailing list message above) when
 specifying `-pie` (see:
 https://github.com/TheRyuu/FFmpeg/commit/91b668acd6decec0a6f8d20bf56e2644f96adcb9).
