Most of the mingw-w64 toolchain changes have now been upstreamed, we can point to a commit that exists upstream. NOTE: I'm not changing the URL yet until we see that Guix upstream will accept all my patches for macOS. ----- The Guix tree that's referred to by this commit contains the following changes relevant to our mingw-w64 build: b066c25026 Adds a PACKAGES-WITH-*PATCHES procedure which we can use in the future to apply patches to packages if those patches are not considered appropriate to upstream Guix 4719b71572 Adds mingw-w64 (the libc itself) reproducibility patches, taken from debian. 79825bee07 + 401d28e433 + c1c50cb5b0 Add mingw-w64 specific binutils patches, taken from debian. Specifically, the "Make DLL import libraries reproducible" patch made libbitcoinconsensus.dll.a build reproducibly. The followup commits were hotfixes for my mistakes. 0f864175dc Bumps mingw-w64 to v7.0.0. This is the first release that enables secure APIs by default (which we need), and gains _FORTIFY_SOURCE support. This will also be what Ubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS releases with. cdf00cf75d Bumps NSIS to v3.05. This is the first release that includes a fix for a reproducibility bug found by some of the electrum developers. See details here: https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1230/
