Looking at the patches themselves:
25-libgccjit-mingw-link-options.patch(3KB)
- Use linker options appropriate for Windows
As far as I can tell, Nicholas made similar changes as part of
c83027f32d9cca84959c7d6a1e519a0129731501.
Similar in effect, maybe ... streets apart, in implementation detail. I have
several reservations about Nicolas' patch, in general, and specific to the
scope of my 25-libgccjit-mingw-link-options.patch:
Nicolas addresses multiple, logically distinct issues, in a single patch;
that's a patching strategy with which I, personally, am not comfortable.
Even to the extent that he addresses the issue of linking for MinGW, Nicolas
has sprayed ifneq blocks around, like the discharge from a blunderbuss; my
patch consolidates all of the associated logic into a single ifeq...else block.
In naming the DLL shared library, for MinGW, Nicolas has neglected to specify
an ABI version number, for inclusion within the file name; not only is this
inconsistent with every other DLL in the GCC universe, it also represents a
serious deficiency, and is a major contributor to "DLL Hell" for consumers on
the MS-Windows platform.

Ticket details:
ease add libgccjit to the binaries included in the MinGW GCC distributions.
This is required to be able to build projects that use libgccjit for JIT
compilation of code.
One example of this is "gccemacs", a branch of GNU Emacs development (soon to
land
on the master branch of Emacs) that compiles Emacs Lisp programs into native
x86 code
for faster runtime performance.
Thank you.

Further to my previous comment, in relation to this patch, I notice that
Nicolas introduced a new installation objective, separating the installation of
libgccjit header files from the existing jit.install-common objective. While
this separation may be advantageous, it is orthogonal to the objective of
achieving MinGW compatibility; consequently, no such separation is specified in
my patch series.

Looking at the patches themselves:
26-libgccjit-mingw-host-shared.patch(2KB)
- Patch to override --enable-host-shared requirement
As far as I can tell, Nicholas made similar changes as part of
c83027f32d9cca84959c7d6a1e519a0129731501.
Functionally identical, yes, but I chose not to introduce white-space-only
changes spanning more than a dozen lines. I would also respectively suggest
that Nicolas' "but not if building for Mingw" addition to the comment is
grossly unsatisfactory ... the code itself tells me that it isn't done for
MinGW; the comment should explain why.
As an aside, I would also note that both Nicolas' patch, and my
26-libgccjit-mingw-host-shared.patch, touch both configure.ac, and configure.
While that is appropriate, for a patch to be applied to a tarball image, in
which both files must be present, I would question its relevance in a patch
against an SCM repository; does it not create potential for "thrashing", in the
content of a generated file, such as configure? (IMO, generated files, such as
configure, do not belong in SCM, but I do understand why some developers may
choose to include them).
