Vista breaks MinGW - and I think that's the issue you're facing here.

Try upgrading to 3.4.5. Then unpack 
http://dessent.net/tmp/gcc-vista-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz into your MinGW 
root directory. (That will overwrite the existing "problem" files.)

I don't know that it's necessary to do the upgrade - but, since the patched 
files in the (above) tarball have been built for 3.4.5, it's probably the 
safest way to approach the problem.

Cheers,
Rob
