That's for Keith to answer, not me.  I presume that presenting a
working patch would be a useful first step for a practical discussion.
If the patch goes into libmingwex, it's entirely a MinGW decision,
AFAIU.  If you need to patch libstdc++, you will have to talk to GCC
maintainers, where that library is developed and maintained.

TIA
