I did not try, but you should have no extra problem due to MinGW.
My impresion was that in the past The Chief reported successful build 
of Mingw version based on GCC4.  Note:

- currently using gcc newer than 4.3.x requires serious
  developement work
- 4.3.x works only if you use '--disable-mapped-location' argument
- code for 4.2.x and 4.3.x is inly in github:

https://github.com/hebisch/gpc

Code for gcc 4.1.x is in the gpc-20070904.tar.bz2 tarball.

- There are known testsuite failures when using gcc-4.x backends.
  Since 4.x backends got less use than 3.x one can expect
  unknown problems.  Also, 4.x backends optimize much more
  agressively than 3.x.  Consequently, wrong programs which
  worked "by accident" with 3.x are likely to be broken
  by 4.x.
