Quite inconvenient, but working:

For the time being, until we have a gcc which sets the TS-aware flag by
default and most of the executables have been rebuilt with it, switch
DEP to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only"
and reboot the machine.  Then install via setup.exe and use peflags to
set the TS-aware flag in all executables.
