Comment (by ryandesign):

 mingw32 has been the subject of false positives before; see
 https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/229576/program-compiled-with-
 mingw32-is-reported-as-infected.

 It happens to other languages too, like nim, perhaps related to the fact
 that nim was compiled with gcc; see https://www.mail-archive.com/nim-
 general at lists.nim-lang.org/msg16821.html
