That sounds definitive, but I don't really trust MinGW/MSYS installers
(since that is alpha software) to do the right thing with updates.  It
wasn't that long ago that that functionality was completely broken.
Instead, what I did was a complete install with
mingw-get-inst-20110802, and I hope you will try that as well
to completely eliminate this possibility.
