I found this pretty inane. He used MinGW instead of native gcc on GNU/Linux.

Mingw _is_ native gcc on Windows. Even more native than Visual C, since it doesn't need additional c runtime redistributable, like msvc needs.

The point of the benchmarks is to compare compilers on the Windows platform, so there is no reason to bench other operating systems.
