I build VLC and Libav for windows using mingw64 just fine, so it isn't
strictly a problem.
VLC is using autotools, Libav uses a custom pure sh+make build system.
The problem you had was probably due some constraints that makes
building C++ projects on window require picking either mingw64 for
everything or msvc for everything.
C projects do not have the problem, even if in order to use some
microsoft tools you might want or even need to build everything using
msvc (and that might require you to go through the hoops of
c99toc98[1])

Pending some additional testing (and making sure I didn't forget
something) we should be good for that.
