This suggests that gcc compiler, version 3.4.4, was used. It is
rather old (and probably also mingw runtime and w32api were old versions).

I tested building epics base in mingw/msys environment, gcc version
4.8.1, obtained from http://www.mingw.org/

There was minor problem in while compiling, the same as in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1352832 

Otherwise, no problems.
