Having a copy/paste of the error would be useful. Extra points for the
line mentioned on the error, plus some of those preceding it.

It is hard to say more without more details, except for noting that your
4.9.1 uses the win32 thread model while your 4.8.1 uses POSIX threads.

Oh, and MSYS2 provides hunspell 1.3.3 for both i686 and x86_64, so
somebody already compiled it with gcc 4.9, although the package version
string contains a "-1" suffix, which possibly means that some patch was
applied. MSYS2 uses a gcc with POSIX threads.
