Last I heard, equation.com have (substantially) modified the GCC version
they are distributing. I recommend that you either try to recreate your
problem with a build of the upstream sources (e.g. from the mingw-w64
project), or that you contact equation.com for help with your issue with
their product.

(Added the fortran list to CC, in case other gfortran developers have
better up to date information about the equation.com builds)
