Comment (by Phyx-):

 Yes, sorry, I was confused as to why the runtime linker was involved
 during a normal compilation. But `TH` makes sense.

 I guess a temporary solution to get `7.10.3` out the door is to just re-
 export everything from `mingwex` since you can't actually specify
 `-lmingwex` current.

 But I have wondered and still do why the RTS is re-exporting symbols like
 this instead of us just linking against `-lmingwex`. Do you have an idea
 why @awson?
