As "all in one" patch it was rejected , but you could find splits:
17605 - mingw-meta: build interpeter core
18653 - mingw-meta: build core modules
Lot of people post links to possible issues using GCC windows compiler.
A lot of them are not real issues for CPython.
In addition for those why would like to cross compile C-extensions for
MS Windows either from linux of cygwin then could use this set:
18654 - modernize mingw&cygwin compiler classes
I could step in as maintainer for Cygwin and builds based on GCC using
mingw* APIs.
