That's not quite what it says:
Note that there are known problems with using this compiler set (and all
others available at the time of writing) on Windows Vista
(@url{http://www.nabble.com/environment-hosed-during-upgrade-tf3305745.html#a9195667}
and that some updates are needed (see the URL above).
As far as I know no update for 'g77' is available for download (so in that
sense the situation is unchanged) but I believe that the existing tools
can be gotten to work by setting suitable paths.
We had expected a new MinGW release by now (June 1 was mentioned), so
hopefully the official solution to this is imminent.
