 That's the name of MinGW compiler in Debian and derivatives (I
originally spotted problem on Debian, and am now using Ubuntu):

> dpkg -S $(which i586-mingw32msvc-gcc)
mingw32: /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-gcc

 And yes, I have compiled a lot of stuff (including older glib
versions) with it and those compilations have been successfully used
in Windows.

 Yeah, I wondered why there's "Microsoft visual studio" part in the
name when I first saw the name of the compiler binary years ago...
