The mingmw10.dll is a threading support dll for MSVCRT when using
-mno-cygwin and -mthread together.  Do you have a virus protection
manager running?  It's probably making it go haywire for some reason. 
If you don't plan to use -mno-cygwin -mthread gcc switches then it's not
needed.

The other alternative is to install it directly with `tar' but then
that's what setup uses.

The GNU package for this is `less'.
