That's not a helpful tone either. I think it is a good idea to get
feedback from the people actually compiling against MinGW before
deciding anything.
If it's simple to update MinGW64 to a version that works I agree it's
better not to keep hacks around, but I don't know how easily that is
possible (MinGW as in non-64 is a incredibly huge pain to update and
I wouldn't want to force that on anyone just for saving one line in
configure and "in principle correct".
