New description:

 The i386-mingw32-gcc build doesn't specify the C++ exception
 implementation
 to use, DWARF or SJLJ.  The default is DWARF, which is known not to work
 on
 Windows.  The native Windows version of Mingw as well as Cygwin's
 cross-compiler use SJLJ for a good reason.  I'll attached a patch that
 changes
 the Portfile to configure SJLJ.
