As I see it we have two possible solutions to this bug:
1. Split the mingw32-pthreads package in a runtime and a devel part
   Cons: The BuildRequires of various other packages depending on
mingw32-pthreads have to be updated
   Cons: There are no other packages in the Fedora MinGW toolchain which have
-devel subpackages making it inconsistent with the rest of the packages
2. Link libgomp statically against pthreads eliminating the hard dependency on
the mingw32-pthreads package
   Cons: Might require approval from FESCO as packages aren't allowed to link
statically against each other

I would vote for the second option, but I don't know if the others agree with
me on that
