I reported this issue/bug to the mailing list recently as part of
a discussion with Ralf which lead to various fixes being made
to get NumPy to compile with either mingw32 or MSCV 10.

My workaround is to change the default compiler for Python 3,
by creating C:\Python33\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg containing:

[build]
compiler=mingw32
