The former. The function from libgcc.a is maybe not correct in all situations
(think of 64-bit Windows), therefore I would use the replacement also on mingw.

Yes, this is ok.

Some years ago there was also another "native" Win32 port attempt, called
pw32, but I haven't heard from it in several years. I'm still waiting for
someone to "start" using a Win32 port that uses wrapper scripts around
MSVC (e.g. cccl) but it apparently has not happened now: config.guess and
config.sub don't contain info abort such a platform.
