There is a bug which in binutils which causes clang targeting
mingw-64/gcc on Windows to create a bad windows executable. The bug is
explained at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23872 and
is fixed at
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=73af69e74974eaa155eec89867e3ccc77ab39f6d
in the binutils-gdb git repository. I understand that part of the blame
for this problem resides with clang, and I have posted a bug report with
clang that is referencing the problem I found, which may be because of
the bug.
Is it possible for me to replace the binutils executables in the latest
mingw-64 installation I have installed on Windows, which is for gcc-8.1,
with the fixed version ? If so how would I do that working on Windows ?
I do have MSYS2 installed but I do not know how to use it to rebuild the
binutils for a mingw-64 installation, if that is possible, so if anyone
can offer me guidance in doing so it would be appreciated. I am a
knowledgeable C++ programmer so I just need some sort of recipe for
doing this, if it is possible, in order to succeed.
