Mingw-w64
Mingw-w64 is an advancement of the original mingw.org project, created to support the GCC compiler on Windows systems. It has forked it in 2007 in order to provide support for 64 bits and new APIs. It has since then gained widespread use and distribution.
The development and community are very active and welcoming with new contributors every month and simple installers.
Version 7 has been released

Notable changes:
- _FORTIFY_SOURCE support thanks to Christian Franke.
- Lots of math fixes from Martin Storsjö.
- Many headers updated from Wine by Jacek Caban.
- UCRT support by Martin Storsjö.
And many other additions thanks to, but not limited to (in Alphabetical order)

A small test program from the configure script of a package I'm attempting to build with MinGW-w64 works fine with x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc but then gives this error with i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: /tmp/ccRc6nqf.o:conftest.c:(.text+0xc): undefined reference to 'recv' If I run it manually with: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -o conftest.exe conftest.c -Wall -L/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/ -lws2_32 I get the same error, however, if I run the same under x86_64, it's fine: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc...

Who will fix the bugs? The bug tracker seems quite abandoned. If they are not bugs, they should be closed, if they are bugs, they should be fixed.
