Even if a recent mingw-w64 package is required, LDC is only 
supported on 32 bit. You can use the version mentioned in the 
wiki (http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_on_MinGW_x86) - this one 
is known to work. (Every newer build should work, too.)

SEH support and C11/C++11 threading are not yet relevant.
