If you have to enter MinGW land to perform what the OP wants then that
is a really clear indication that this is off-topic.

I think we've seen an adequate amount of advice for how the OP can

output from gcc to see how it does things.  That's probably the best
advice for how to proceed, regardless of the platform.
