I have successfully run QEMU in the past built with the Ubuntu
gcc-mingw-w64 compiler. My guess is that it's more likely
that the runtime is picking up the wrong version of some mingw
runtime DLL (likely the threading related one), or possibly
that you compiled against the wrong threading DLL.

Unfortunately most active QEMU developers care primarily
about Linux (and the few who do have some need for Windows
builds generally have a working toolchain setup, obviously).
If you want to see this fixed you're probably going to need
to investigate it yourself :-(
