Sorry, Hans, this was only related to how I get my SHA sums (MSYS2 is
more like home field to me than PowerShell).

Cross-compilation for ConTeXt binary is totally fine for me (even with
this one particular nasty glitch).

I haven’t changed anything, but not being self-employed and having all
IT being remotely managed, I cannot say that I’m 100% sure that no
system-related thing has been changed (I’d rather avoid asking about
this [too long and rather stupid story]).

I have been using most of these binaries for that while, since I tend to
update to current latest(*), without any issue (huge thanks for that to
everyone involved).

(*) I came to realize that I prefer to hit new bugs (that need reporting
and fixing) than older ones (that may have been already fixed).

In an unexpected twist, testing (about three hours ago) what Bruce asked
me to explain, binaries started working again (`context --version` or
`luametatex --version` gave the right output instead of the message in
Spanish "Acceso denegado").

So it seems that these binaries are usable again (sorry for being
overcautious, but I would like to test them extensively [I have used it
as in any other previous ConTeXt distribution and they seem to work
fine; but the more extensive the testing, the better]).

Many thanks for your help and sorry for what turned out to be noise,

Pablo
