Already noted, Max. I'm aware of the problem, but don't have time to address it
immediately. I should be able to get to it soon, though. If you have any suggestions
as to where the libuuid from e2fsprogs should go, I'd be glad of the advice... IIRC,
Reini suggested /usr/lib/e2fsprogs or something similar.

Now we get the the bottom of the problem!
It's nothing to do with the gcc-mingw package at all. Instead, it is an
e2fsprogs packaging problem.
Someone want to re-report in a new thread, with an appropriate subject?
e.g. "e2fsprogs installs libuuid.a, hides w32api/libuuid.a"
Max.
