The Fedora MinGW SIG maintains over a large number of packages which allows users to build binaries for the win32 and win64 targets using the mingw-w64 toolchain. One of the goals of the Fedora MinGW SIG is to have the package versions as close as possible to their native counterparts: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:MinGW?rd=Packaging/MinGW#Track_Fedora_native_package_versions As Features/GCC48 gcc 4.8 was accepted as a feature for Fedora 19 we intend to update the mingw-gcc package in Fedora 19 as well to gcc 4.8
