Not this. Rushing ahead blindly would not be deliberate.

This. Waiting (interminably) on MinGW changes would not be very speedy.
I know most of these the libtool/mingw-cross changes under complaint
were mine. However, I did at least try to ensure that they were a strict

didn't catch some problems, well...yeah, better test coverage is (mostly
