JP, is that mingw32 directly, or was it provided by mingw-w64 indirectly?
It appears that mingw32 (the original compiler version) doesn't have the
compatibility enabled but the forked version mingw-w64 does. (there was
discussion about this on the mingw users mailing list:
https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/lists/archive/users/2019-January/000202.html
).
