Hi Pedro,

Thanks for the info, I did some tests with your code.

The above test case works for me.
I tried several thing:
1. build the above code with MINGW-w64 g++ from MSYS2, run on MSYS2.
It works on both Windows and Wine.
2. build the above code with MinGW-w64 cross compiler from my Ubuntu,
runs on Wine, works as expected.
3. build the above code with Linux native g++ (i386), runs on Linux,
works as expected.
4. Added customer printf statement to the source code, retest on all
configuration above, and I can confirm all executed code path are the
same.

I tried all 4 combination of with/without
-static-libstdc++/-static-libgcc, the test case works for me on
Windows with MinGW-w64 g++ from MSYS2.

MSYS2 g++ has --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2, not sure if it
does matter.


Here is the MinGW-w64 g++ provided by MSYS2:
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=E:\msys32\mingw32\bin\g++.exe

--with-gnu-ld --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2
Thread model: posix
gcc version 5.2.0 (Rev4, Built by MSYS2 project)

I've forwarded the question to MSYS2 maintainers in #msys2 (OFTC),
will update once I have more information.

Thanks!
