[PATCH] Fix -unawareness of large-addresses on mingw (#8520)

[Simon Marlow]

I don't know what this does, and there doesn't seem to be any info in 
#8520 either.

Could you add the patch to the ticket, and help us out by saying why 
this fixes the problem (and if possible, explain why it won't break 
anything else)?
