How then does the mingw with the 4.7 itself work? Is it maybe all C
code and not affected
by this C++ specific change?
The -mms-bitfields option is now on by default, struct offset alignments
has changed. In C++ __thiscall is now used for non-variadic class methods.
If you don't know what these means, it means the underlying code
generated by GCC has changed and no longer compatible with older
pre-compiled code.
