Windows is proprietary commercial spy poisoned software.
You can't to build solid software for windows without closed source
compilers produced by M$. Every piece of software like MinGW (includes
port of GCC) lacks of many closed, patented part of used run-time code
from Visual Studio, which strongly need to produce correct code.
It's especially true for C++ code, but valid for C code, where it lacks of
some features.
See #13443 for example for C++ code or #10186 for lack of stack tracing
for code compiled by GCC.
