Public bug reported:
Perhaps this question should go to Debian - I'm interested in using the
MinGW-w64 cross-compiler package but my preference is for SEH exception
handling on x86_64 (rather than sjlj), and win32 threading instead of
posix to avoid the dependence on libwinpthread-1.dll. Other non-Debian
distributions like Fedora and OpenSUSE provide this combination by
default, though I recognize win32 threading does not work as well with
std::thread so it's not ideal for all users. If there were a mechanism
for providing multiple options through Debian/Ubuntu packaging, it would
be a much more versatile platform for cross-compilation.
Maybe this would be good to do as a PPA? I'm experimenting now with
doing dpkg-buildpackage with a couple small modifications to the
debian/rules file where the appropriate configure flags are used.
