Comment:

 No sorry, don't know anyone in mingw-w64 yet.

 However, @Elieux who is usually in #GHC might be able to help.

 In the mean time I have opened an issue on their tracker
 https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/1765 and asked for the
 patch to be applied.

 Since we host the binaries ourselves anyway we can also just choose to
 apply them ourselves if they don't want to do it.

 We have to update binutils anyway for `-ffunction-sections` no @awson?
