No one, but they need to know about issues like this in order to do something about them. Above you said that this was "not possible" to fix for mingw. If you really meant "this would require changes in the mingw runtime", perhaps you should have said that. Then, even if you are not motivated to approach the MinGW developers to effect such changes, someone else (e.g. me) could have.
