No it's *part of* mingw-w64.

Mnigw-w64 is a fork of mingw32 and provides toolchains targetting both 
32-bit and 64-bit windows. These toolchains (at least in debian, not 
sure about upstream) have triplets i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32 .

Yeah,  I provided the gcc-mingw-w64 maintainers with a patch that 
disabled gnat support on armhf allowing the rest of the package to be 
built and the libreoffice build to be tried.

Thanks to everyone who helped get libreoffice into armhf unstable.
