Sorry for delayed response. I knew I had a reason for this, but honestly forgot
what it was. Here is the reason:

    $ cat omega.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main() {
      printf("Ω\n");
    }

    $ x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc -o cygwin.exe omega.c
    $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o mingw32.exe omega.c
    $ chcp.com 65001
    Active code page: 65001

    $ ./cygwin.exe
    Ω

    $ ./mingw32.exe
    Ω

    $ chcp.com 437
    Active code page: 437

    $ ./cygwin.exe
    Ω

    $ ./mingw32.exe
    Ω

So everything is normal until you run a mingw32 program with the wrong code
page. You would never notice this with cygwin programs because as you can see
they work with either code page.
