Dear Monica,

since everything was working perfectly before my birthday (the webcam 
was a birthday present) and I had not updated MinGW/MSYS in any way, I 
concluded that stackdumps must be due to some 3rd party software that 
was running on the machine, so basically I started killing, one by one, 
all non-system processes that I saw in the Task Manager, until 
stackdumps disappeared. This approach allowed me to figure out that the 
Logitech Webcam service was interfering with the build. You might do the 
same on your system to find, if this is the case also for you, the 
interfering process.

Hope that helps,
Paolo
