The GCC developers don't have anything to do with these files at the 
mingw.org site.  You should try contacting them.

It is possible that the file got corrupted when you downloaded it.  You 
could try downloading it again.  Some sites put checksum files on their 
download sites, so that you can verify that files downloaded corrected. 
 The GCC developers for instance use md5sum.  The mingw.org site 
apparently doesn't do that though, which is unfortunate.
