Comment (by awson):

 This is a bug in binutils. It can't link MS-created 64-bit import
 libraries properly.

 The bug was fixed in latest MSys2 binutils distribution:
 http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils-2.25.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.

 Note that the bugfix was not in vanilla 2.25.1. MSys2 maintainers
 backported it from trunk binutils.
