Hi Gib,

you can find my patch for MinGW-w64 in this post:

    http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/Building-VTK-on-64-bit-Windows-using-MinGW-w64-td3351101.html

I have also submitted a Mantis report with a few more details about this
issue here:

    http://www.itk.org/Bug/view.php?id=11742

So far I have not experienced any issues with VTK on this platform.

Hope this helps you.
 Christian
