@Biswa96 this is about expecting `x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres` next to `windres`. GCC packages provides normal binaries and ones prefixed with triple but Bunutils package has only normal binaries without prefix.

It'd be the best if you contacted Binuts developers directly because we don't develop it.

It's caused by your Anti Virus or another program that injects DLLs.

@angelog0 note this change affects only MSYS environment (`/usr`). Our goal is still the same: provide users with means to build **native** applications/libraries. This is sort of opposite of Cygwin...

It is weak symbol, so it's possible this will work when using `ld.bfd` instead of LLD.
