Host is some Debian; x86_64-linux.

Great. Thanks for attending to this so quickly.

But the patch seems mingw-specific and a host with x64_64-linux
probably still fails. Or is "host" actually the target here?

Just please test-build and *really* preferably regression-test
each affected simulator. (Build and install binutils for it.)
When they're broken I guess expediting a fix might require
less...

That's right, I'm not testing all simulators, that's why I wrote
*some* simulators and *including*. The set of simulators was
what built and was error free some-long-time-ago.

No, I'm not aiming for completeness, the autotester is there
only to check that people do the bare essentials as to test
before checking in. 1/2 ;)
