It may be a false positive. If you can determine whether it is or not, let us know.

mingw32 has been the subject of false positives before; see ​https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/229576/program-compiled-with-mingw32-is-reported-as-infected.

It happens to other languages too, like nim, perhaps related to the fact that nim was compiled with gcc; see ​https://www.mail-archive.com/nim-general@lists.nim-lang.org/msg16821.html
