Comment:
I take issue with your assessment, and am closing this as "won't fix" — not
that we could fix it anyway, because it is not our bug! My reasoning goes as
follows:—
1. Microsoft's dumpbin tool is hardly an effective yardstick for determination
of the validity of PE-COFF executables.
2. By your own admission, the git.exe about which you complain, can be loaded
and executed successfully by Windows, and Microsoft's windbg can parse it;
that, for me, is a more effective validation yardstick.
3. This git.exe is a third party product, which we neither distribute, nor
maintain; furthermore, there is no evidence that our tools play any part in
its creation — on the contrary, there is strong evidence that they do not!
On this basis, I conclude that it is not git.exe which is at fault, but rather
dumpbin which is defective; only Microsoft can fix that.

Ticket details:
When using git.exe on Windows as part of the Chromium project I tried to obtain
details about the debug information (PDB files) associated with git.exe by
using Visual Studio's dumpbin. This failed due to invalid fields in the git.exe
PE file. Details can be found in this Visual Studio bug:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/386596/
dumpbin-fails-on-gitexe-for-windows.html
Although Microsoft may update dumpbin to work around this bug in the git.exe
binary as created by mingw it would be preferable if mingw would stop creating
invalid PE files.
I obtained git.exe from https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/tree/
v2.19.1.windows.1

Comment:
Sorry, but I cannot see any correlation between this report, and the content of
our <setjmp.h> implementation, as can be seen here. Consequently, I am closing
this, as it appears to be invalid in the MinGW.org context; (we do not support
tha products of other projects, which illegally abuse our registered
trademark).

Ticket details:
According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/setjmp3
The correct api is int _setjmp3(jmp_buf env, int count, ....) where count is
the number of parameters that follow.
On 32-bit, as of e33afcd864a4e90a7b170585d802a3f85fbe7dfe, the setjmp.h that
got generated, maps setjmp(buf) to _setjmp3(buf, NULL)
I don't know what issue this causes, but as setjmp (_setjmp3()) is returning
-1, it might be an issue.
Also on the same page, _setjmp3 should not be used in a c++ context. The header
setjmp does not prevent _setjmp3 for c++.
There's a define USE_NO_MINGW_SETJMP_TWO_ARGS, which controls the number of
args to setjmp, but I don't know why yet.

Ticket details:
While developing this Mercurial Queues emulation for Git, which will be
required to support git integration for this proposed MinGW package builder
tool, I've run into a problem with the MSYS implementation of awk. On my LMDE
system, I have awk-4.0.1, and I've written an emulator for "git qselect
--series", (which I've yet to publish to the git-mq chamber). This used gawk's
"asorti()" function, with a custom sort-comparator function, to present the
output in lexically sorted order; it works fine in awk-4.0.1, but fails on
MSYS, which offers only awk-3.1.7; (the "asorti()" function appears to be
supported, but the custom comparator function reference parameter is rejected).
I've since reworked my "git qselect --series" emulation, using my own "qsort()"
function implementation, instead of gawk's "asorti()" function. This makes the
entire emulation significantly more portable, but it may still make sense to
upgrade the MSYS implementation of awk, such that it will support more modern
gawk features.
