I don't think the link here actually has much value, and would be inclined to
drop it, as far as I can tell it's just giving that as an example of a toolchain
which produces 'lib'-prefixed DLLs.
Also, reading the whole page, the section "Linking against DLLs" needs updating
since GNU ld has had the ability to link directly against DLLs (automatically
generating the necessary import stubs) for a number of years.
Also, there are other mentions of MinGW.org on the cygwin website (e.g.
https://cygwin.com/links.html) which also need updating, if that URL is no
longer valid.
I checked the tree and Corinna cleaned up some a few years ago.
I already checked winsup/doc/ and there were no other substantive uses of MinGW
unless you would prefer *ALL* mentions of MinGW be suffixed with -w64.
I did not look closely at cygwin-htdocs, as git complained when I tried to
update, so I wiped that repo, but it looks like links.html and categories in
packaging-hint-files.html which includes Mingw, needed updated.
Is there a definitive file with a list of all currently valid categories in
calm, cygport, setup, or shared somewhere?
I may get to reclone, check, and patch htdocs later.
