Are our packages up to date? Or is the fix in master/main/trunk of
mingw runtime and thus unreleased? Anyway, however you would like to
fix it (separate patch or new tarballs), it's a good idea to upload
changes to such an important package to a branched package in your
home project first and check whether it builds on all the platforms.
Perhaps this is already your workflow, in that case, please ignore my
comment.

I usually have such a change waiting for a week or so in my home repo
until a low-level package is changed by someone else and piggy back on
the repo rebuild. But especially when all the repos are build and
published, feel free to upload the changes, as the binary packages are
still available for download during the day(s) (or even weeks) of
rebuilding.

One last remark: don't forget the windows:mingw:win64 repository. I
noticed that Tomahawk isn't building correctly for win64. I don't
really care for that package, but if you are going to change
mingw-runtime, please make sure that both targets compile cleanly.
