+On Debian and Ubuntu, this can be resolved by using the posix alternate, which
 supports threading. For example, choose the posix alternate from these
 commands (use i686 for 32-bit):
 ```
 update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
 update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
 ```
+For non debian based distros, make sure that your mingw-w64-gcc cross compiler

+recompile locally or open a bug at your distro's bugtracker to ask for it.
