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.
