I still need to give some thought to your earlier post; however, in 
respect of:

mingw-get says "no".  You should use its pkginfo tool to evaluate 
proposed package names, within the context in which mingw-get will 
interpret them:

   $ pkginfo mingwrt-4.0-rc1-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma
   Package Name:      mingwrt
   Package Version:   4.0
   Package Build:     <unspecified>
   Subsystem Name:    rc1
   Subsystem Version: 1
   Subsystem Build:   <unspecified>
   Release Status:    mingw32
   Release Reference: <unspecified>
   Component Type:    dev
   Component Version: <unspecified>
   Archive Format:    tar
   Compression Type   lzma

I really don't think you intended to specify subsystem rc1 version 1; 
neither do I think that you want:

   $ pkginfo mingwrt-4.0-mingw32-rc1-1-dev.tar.lzma
   Package Name:      mingwrt
   Package Version:   4.0
   Package Build:     <unspecified>
   Subsystem Name:    mingw32-rc1
   Subsystem Version: 1
   Subsystem Build:   <unspecified>
   Release Status:    <unspecified>
   Release Reference: <unspecified>
   Component Type:    dev
   Component Version: <unspecified>
   Archive Format:    tar
   Compression Type   lzma

Formally acceptable, and more realistic perhaps:

   $ pkginfo mingwrt-4.0-mingw32-rc-1-dev.tar.lzma
   Package Name:      mingwrt
   Package Version:   4.0
   Package Build:     <unspecified>
   Subsystem Name:    mingw32
   Subsystem Version: <unspecified>
   Subsystem Build:   <unspecified>
   Release Status:    rc
   Release Reference: 1
   Component Type:    dev
   Component Version: <unspecified>
   Archive Format:    tar
   Compression Type   lzma

Valid variations you may wish to consider; (I leave it as an exercise 
for yourself, to determine the pkginfo interpretation):

   mingwrt-4.0-1-mingw32-rc-1-dev.tar.lzma
   mingwrt-4.0-1-mingw32-rc-1-20130226-dev.tar.lzma
   mingwrt-4.0-1-20130226-mingw32-rc-1-dev.tar.lzma
