I'm afraid that will be a no-go. The EPEL guidelines state that packages
may only be part of EPEL when they aren't part of RHEL. As the base
mingw32-* packages are now part of RHEL (be it as a technology preview)
we aren't allowed to bundle them in EPEL anymore... Only packages which
aren't part of RHEL (yet) may be added to EPEL.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies for more
details about this subject

Kind regards,
