This sounds silly, but after reinstalling the MINGW cross compiler and 
compiling sid, the new binaries work as expected - and also the old sid 
binaries still work. So if there is a problem, I'd assume that it occurs 
during build-time.

Sadly, I did not check whether there were any upgrades in the mingw libraries 
from the version I had to the newest in the debian repository.
So it may also be a problem in the mingw (debian) packages....

Sorry for the hassle!

At least, I'm now ready to play around with sid :)

Bye,
