Well the main problem is, that tdm-gcc (which you really want to have 
nice working gcc on windows) does not support gcc 4.8 yet. They are 
still at 4.7 so porting it over will be quite some work. There has been 
a posting on the newsgroup from venix where he statet that he started 
porting the newest version, but it still had many bugs.
