Comment (by awson):
Could we, perhaps, use Msys2 builds for this? They are of a high quality
and pretty well supported. Also they have gcc-5.2 and, most important,
recently released binutils-2.25.1 which have a very important bug (wrong
linking of 64-bit import libraries generated by MS linker) fixed.
As of today the transitive closure of packages required is (I believe)
this:
{{{
mingw-w64-x86_64-crt-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-winpthreads-git-5.0.0.4538.78dca70-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-headers-git-5.0.0.4531.49c7046-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-libwinpthread-git-5.0.0.4538.78dca70-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib-1.2.8-8
mingw-w64-x86_64-isl-0.14.1-2
mingw-w64-x86_64-mpc-1.0.3-2
mingw-w64-x86_64-mpfr-3.1.3.p0-2
mingw-w64-x86_64-gmp-6.0.0-3
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libs-5.2.0-3
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils-2.25.1-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-libiconv-1.14-5
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-5.2.0-3
}}}
