Comment (by Phyx-):
I've intentionally not updated them because mingw-w64 have not been able
to release the 32-bit version of the toolchain due to a stage3 failure for
GCC 8 and now 9.
Originally no GCC 8 builds were available, I fixed this with upstream and
the 64-bits were released but the 32-bit ones are still failing
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2019-01/msg00178.html which is what I'm working
on with upstream now.
The problem is I don't particularly want a different toolchain and runtime
for the 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains as it'll be confusing for the users
but also we don't test the 32-bit ones often, so we'll likely to break it
with a different toolchain.
If we want to update before the tarballs are released by mingw-w64 we'll
have to spin our own binaries disabling the ada bootstrap.
the CRT I haven't updated due to a weird behavior with NaN and INF in a
testcase, though that may have been fixed now. Haven't checked yet.
