This is not a gcc issue in the slightest, it's a MinGW issue. And it has been fixed there some time ago. Once you install the fixed MinGW runtime and recompile gcc it works fine. There are binaries (at least for the gcc.exe driver frontend, the primary one affected) posted on the MinGW mailing list, but nobody has gotten around to posting rebuilt binaries at the SF download area.
