> The newly introduced --enable-compressed-debug-section=all configure
> flag in the base binutils package makes the mingw-w64 build system
> unusable. For example:
>
>     $ guix build --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 hello
>
>         and
>
>     $ guix build mingw-w64-x86_64-winpthreads
>
> Will fail to build with an error:
>
>     "x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: final link failed: bad value"
>
> Turning off this flag seems to fix the problem, but perhaps it'd also be
> worthwhile to investigate the root cause.

> * gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-binutils): When building for mingw
>   targets, append "--enable-compressed-debug-section=no" to configure
