So, you think you know better than MinGW's developers?  We've said it 
countless times -- DO NOT install MinGW into ANY PATH within "Program 
Files", (nor indeed into ANY path with spaces in the name).  Now you 
know why.

The solution is to uninstall, and reinstall properly.

We normally recommend that you have the MinGW/bin directory in your 
PATH, in any case.
