It was a guesswork and it proved wrong, setsmp/longjmp flavour [1] with
GCC 8.1.0 also fails. Fedora 32 has GCC 9.2.1 (works), while Fedora 33 has
GCC 10.2.1 (fails). I use a reproducible environment [2] with GCC 9.3.0,
which succeeds. Seems like GCC 9 is the only known version that works, which
is pretty close to "doesn't work with MinGW at all".
