Ouch.  That would mean builds created inside a MinGW host environment
are binary-incompatible with builds created by cross-compiling for the
MinGW target.  If that's indeed the case, it's a serious problem.

Even if binary compatibility didn't matter, it is still highly
undesirable for Glib::ustring::format() to fall back to non-wide streams
on any major platform.  It may compile without wide streams, but that
was never intended as anything but a last-resort fall back, as it
severely cripples functionality.  (Most importantly, ustring::format()
will be restricted to the locale encoding.)
