GCC does not include a linker or library.  So the right place to report
a bug is to the linker or library project.  What you are describing
sounds to me like a linker bug.  Since you are using MinGW, it's likely
that you are using the GNU linker.  If that is so, then running "ld
--help" will show you where to report linker bugs, probably
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ .
