--- Comment #37 from peter0x44 at disroot dot org --- Sorry, comment got sent by accident, before I was done typing. And you replied before I finished, too. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction. === IRRELEVANT Executables with this embedded UTF-8 manifest don't run on Windows XP. The OS just reports "The system cannot execute the specified program." Patching GCC to remove it does make it work and run fine, simply remove all the contents of winnt-utf8.manifest, and it will work again. Related issue: https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/issues/58 I'm not sure if anyone cares, since it is a very old and unsupported OS, but I figured it was worth a little further discussion. Perhaps making disabling it a configure option would be feasible. https://nullprogram.com/blog/2020/05/04/ https://nullprogram.com/blog/2021/12/30/ Here is some useful info that may help in choosing a more optimal solution. ===
