no, I just didn't check. And I probably won't check. However it's more likely that your patches are accepted if e.g. it doesn't break the normal Windows build and an unrelated build, e.g. for a Linux target.

Maybe you could even separate the patches into a patch supporting a native mingw build and a cmingw ross build?
