I use the mingw packages current, at the moment I create my build virtual
PC, which are available for the openSUSE version where I build on. (For the
GTK2 builds that is openSUSE 13.1 and for the GTK3 builds it is 13.2)  If
there is no version available, as for Sourceview 3, or too old, as for
Pixman, I can build my own package, independent from what is installed on
openSUSE. Look at it as some kind of a virtual mingw environment within my
(virtual) openSUSE machine
So easiest is to use packages provided, but if there is a good reason I can
change that. Off course I might run in trouble because of dependencies etc.

It might be possible but would mean a lot of work.  I prefer just to use
non-standard packages if needed.  I used to keep this stable for about a
year or so and then upgrade to newer packages.
For the GTK3 version I use:

zlib                  1.2.8

I changed my procedures during the conversion to GTK3 so the packages used
are always listed for example in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows/files/2015-06-24-DoNotUse/

BTW for the people on this list. This is a fully functional GTK3 build. You
can test it if you want. And for the skilled users among you have a look at
the debug version. GDB is integrated in that package and it is easy to use
even for not developers. It might be useful for bug hunting on MSWindows.

Have fun
