I'll fix that shortly by moving binutils-mingw-w64's linker scripts to an
architecture-specific directory (as standard in binutils - technically this
just involved reverting 001_ld_makefile_patch.patch when building
binutils-mingw-w64).

Matthias, to help upgrades this will still need a Breaks statement in
binutils - presumably binutils-mingw-w64 (<< 2.23.52.20130612-1+3).

Regards,

Stephen
