https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Target-Platforms.html#Target-Platforms
does not list "mingw-w64" and it does not list which implementation of "mingw"
they mean.

This is from my memories of reading #gdb@freenode that FSF GDB was reporting
fatal errors on trivial programs for anyone asking about OSX there. I do not
have OSX to test it myself (and I do not remember if I tested GDB there myself
when I had OSX available) so maybe GDB works on OSX now if you say so, OK.

(1) That does not work yet (for example it is not public yet).
(2) It is currently unclear whether all the supported OSes (while nobody knows
the currently valid list of them) will get buildslaves connected to the
buildbot project. Some of those OSes are proprietary.

But sure that all may happen one day. But for now it is irrelevant.
