I think he was talking about running Visual Studio builds (in general) vs running MinGW builds of 0.83.19, not between MinGW builds of 0.83.20 and MinGW builds of 0.83.19. So it is certainly NOT a regression. The only catch is that the official MinGW builds of 0.83.20 do not run in Windows XP, due to the issue with compiling tools. But on the plus side, the official 32/64 bit MinGW builds of 0.83.20 come with Slirp backend support for the NE2000 networking, which does not exist in 32-bit MinGW builds of 0.83.19. It is simply impossible for the same MinGW build to support Windows XP and the Slirp backend at the same time. Meanwhile, if one wants to run MinGW builds in Windows XP please feel free to compile the source code by themselves and post the builds here.
