Same here. I compile the regex module for Python 2.5-2.7 and 3.1-3.5, both 32-bit and 64-bit, using MinGW-w64, and I haven't had a problem yet that wasn't due to a bug in the source code.

Interesting. With Python 3.5, what CRT does the module use? With Python 3.4 and earlier, distutils arranged for mingw builds to link to the CRT that matched the CPython build, but I don't think that happened for 3.5 (because mingw doesn't support ucrt yet). So you'd have a CRT that doesn't match the core. Obviously this isn't causing you issues, but I'm not sure if it could (CRT problems seem to be mostly about "might cause issues" type problems...)
