I would recommend you to switch to using Linux, but I guess this is not
an option to you, otherwise you would not already be using MinGW :)

Coldfire targets? ... Are you sure this issue is related to MinGW?

There have been quite a number of reports related to "gcc-4.2.x ICE'ing
for m68k targets" on all kind of build-hosts, which makes it very likely
for your issues not to be related to MinGW at all.

Could you provide further details about the ICE you are observing?

Chris would be the person to answer this. I don't know if he is
listening, because he recently mentioned to be away for some weeks.
