there are some known issues with mingw, which in jargon, are that it
should be a first-class "platform" similar to how cygwin on Windows is a
platform; the fact that it isn't means it sometimes inherits some
attributes from the default Windows development environment that it
shouldn't.

Don't have a glib answer for what the workaround will be for you. Could
you perhaps supply a few more details? I have a test setup here that is
windows with only mingw installed so it's possible to try out some
things once it's more clear what to look at.
