#8887 — Should ctypes handle mis-matching structure return ABI between mingw and MSVC?

According the Bug 36834 of gcc, there is a mis-matching between mingw 
and MSVC when a struct was returned by value from a C function.

     http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36834

Should ctypes handle this situation automatically somehow?

I would expect this to be the responsibility of libffi rather than ctypes.
