It's been a month since this has been accepted and marked for needs maintainer. Given nobody has stepped up to provide an accepted patch, marking as wontfix. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the appropriate process.

It has been a year and a half since this was requested but today I've managed to build this package in solbuild, stay tuned for more information.

That is wonderful information @YakoYakoYokuYoku. I might need this for a packaging project, so it would be amazing to have it in the repo :)

The steps required for building mingw-w64 and mingw-w64-gcc are further detailed here:
