Oh, you don't have to apologize.
(And, of course, wanabe-san doesn't, too.)

Agree.
The problem is not wanabe-san's revert, but a lack of responsibility
of MinGW port.

Currently, nobu is the maintainer of MinGW port.
I know him well, and everyone knows that he is the special about
hacking ruby.
However, he is not living on Windows now.
Moreover, he doesn't have 64bit Windows environment.
I guess that it is too difficult to maintain it in such situation
even if he is the special.
We should change the current state in some shape.
