libmingwex -- maybe.  I dunno -- that's for Danny and/or Earnie to say. 
  You really only need library-name based protection for static libs; 
symbols in import libs are protected from re-export by symbol-exclude 
lists (_nm_*,__imp__*, etc).  libmsvcrt, libmingwthrd -- no (because 
they are implibs).

There may be other "system" and "compiler" libnames worth looking at in 
/usr/lib, like libautomode, libbinmode, libtextmode, libgcj, etc.
