No, it means to backport the change in the library order and then rebuild. The modified source tarball should be uploaded to the same place. > FYI the MSYS2 package sources don't provide old versions of packages. > Their currently available MinGW-W64 toolchains won't build a 64-bit > Emacs that works on Windows 7 from the 25.3 release. I think the binary will work on Windows 7 if built on Windows 7. But I don't suggest actually trying that. > Will the mingw.org toolchains described in nt/INSTALL do it? Not for a 64-bit build, no.
