We need nearest version as possible of the gcc from mingw and the kernel 
gcc to avoid problems from parameter ABI. Have you also rebuild the 
Windows exe files?

If you have localy an other GCC, then please setup the coLinux build 
environment with "./configure --gcc-guest-build". That creates a gcc for 
kernel and for Windows from same source. That should also work on Debian 
5.0 (Lenny).

"gcc-4.2.0-binutils-2.17.50.patch" and 
"gcc-4.2.2-binutils-2.18.50.patch" from 
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/patches/devel are two tested 
variants of newer gcc/binutils.

The latest official version for mingw is gcc 4.2.1 and 
binutils-2.18.50-20080109-2

Be carefully with gcc 4.3 and older kernels.

The mingw team only have a pre "alpha" of gcc 4.3.0
