It would be helpful to know the specific compiler version and settings used to build the
official Go binaries.
For Mac, FreeBSD and Ubuntu, it is simple to use the default compiler. And there's a
good chance someone else is using it with Go.
But on Windows, it is possible to use a compiler that nobody else on the planet has used
with Go. As issue #6833 shows, even the same MinGW distro (TDM) can encounter problems
when using a different version. And there are various flavors of MinGW distros and each
bundled version of gcc within them can have multiple versions (SEH vs SJLC, etc.)
Please help users avoid needless uncertainty and pitfalls by mentioning the compiler
version and settings in the Release notes or FAQ. If that isn't the ideal place, the
please consider updating wiki page such as:
https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/WindowsBuild
Thanks.

I don't think we should force our users to use "specific compiler version".
Technically, there is no need for that. If it is recent enough (few years old), it
should work.
You are referring to issue #6833, but it is already fixed.
Also you don't need MinGW to use Go. Our binary distro does not contain MinGW. It is
only required, if you use cgo or contribute to Go project. If that is the case, then you
should be able to figure out (or ask for help) how and what to install.
I don't grant or deny access to https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/WindowsBuild.
Perhaps others will help you with that.
