I don't know that it's broken in any other compiler. Could be that it's only broken for MingW.

As far as I can tell, you seem to be talking about the package 'mingw-runtime-3.7.tar.gz'.
I am also using this package however I don't think this package is the issue. Instead, I
believe it to be the w32api package in which case I'm using 'w32api-3.5.tar.gz'.

As for getnameinfo(), I believe that you'll only have the problem if _WIN32_WINNT is undefined
or defined to be less than 0x0501.
