I tried to "upgrade" from mingw 4.8.1 to 4.7.2, but had no luck. There seems to be an unresolved problem with the packaging on the 4.8.1 release that prevents a change back to previous versions.
This definitely seems to be a mingw problem.

It seems there are a number of
issues with the 4.8.1-x releases. It's probably best to revert back to 4.7.2 if you do not need 4.8.1 specifics.
