Has this bug been reported to the gcc team?

The build I've provided may be used in exactly the same manner as the official MinGW GCC 3 builds. Bugs may exist in GCC 4 that did not exist in GCC 3, although there are certainly bugs that existed in GCC 3 that have been fixed in GCC 4.
MinGW does not distribute a build of GCC 4, and therefore your level of support in using it will be less.
MinGW's GCC 3 has, obviously, been used far more widely; therefore there will be some software designed to work "out-of-the-box" (no tampering required) with GCC 3 that will not do so with GCC 4. I have not discovered any such. Code::Blocks DOES compile out-of-the-box with GCC 4, and wxWidgets does as well with my build. The fact that as complex a program as C::B works without modification bodes well for GCC 4's compatibility with other code, as does the fact that object code produced by the 3.4 series can be linked with object code produced by the 4.0 and 4.1 series.
To sum up my summation, GCC 4 for Windows seems to be quite usable but not officially supported (except by me where possible); and even if you rely on a library that does not build with GCC 4, you can still build it with GCC 3 and link it with your own GCC 4 compiled code.

I believe it would be better to report it to the GDB team.

It is not presented in Ceniza gcc 4.* builds. Source of the bug is unclear.
Grom:
Looks like should be a new chapter in CB web cite - mingw-gcc. Where will be new compilations of gcc. Original one mingw seems to be was dead.

It is not dead, it is a little slow. :(
