You are not supposed to run cross compiled executable files. This is not
even a linker error.

    I compiled my program with each of the mingw32 compilers.
    After each compilation I copied the libstdc++-6.dll into
    the directory containing the compiled executable and then
    ran the compiled code. After each execution I received the
    same error. Are you saying that the mingw32 compiled code
    is cross-compiled to a non-intel, non-windows and/or
    non-cygwin architecture and that is why the code doesn't
    execute? What are you supposed to do with mingw32 compiled
    code instead of executing it?
