The mingw-w64-{x86_64,i686}-winpthreads have been broken since the absorption of binutils-next in ce362bc1f35102e7d79ad7e0d638d20cef304f01. My very crude debugging (adding and removing configure flags from the binutils in gnu/packages/base.scm until the packages compiled) led me to the culprit: "--enable-compressed-debug-sections=all”.

I’m wondering what the best course of action is to fix the mingw-w64-{x86_64,i686}-winpthreads packages (e.g. just remove the configure flag for mingw-w64? Add that flag only for linux? Or something else?) and would love some help.
