Guys,

The issue arose as an unintentionally introduced dependency, when I 
published GCC-6.3.0; I rebuilt the gcc-core-bin component, to correct 
an mpc-1.0.2 header vs. mpc-1.0.3 library dependency inconsistency, 
after I'd added libmingwex.dll.a to my cross-compiler tools.

Unintentional, it may have been, but entirely undesirable?  I'm not 
sure.  Now that this dynamic linking option is available, would it not 
be a worthwhile deployment choice to have *all* MinGW.org tools linked 
thus?  (After all, dynamic linking does have its advantages, in spite 
of the aversion shown by many Windows users).

What do you think?

Keith.
