Comment:
Since all Windows code is position independent anyway, and the reason that JIT
requires configuration with --enable-host-shared appears to be to ensure
position independence of generated code, it seems likely that the
--enable-host-shared option is not actually required for a MinGW build of
libgccjit-0.dll; however, the current behaviour of GCC's configure script
enforces the requirement that it be specified. The attached
26-libgccjit-mingw-host-shared.patch overrides such enforcement, in the
specific case of building for a MinGW target, allowing the whole caboodle to be
built in a single operation, without requiring specification of
--enable-host-shared.

Ticket details:
Please add libgccjit to the binaries included in the MinGW GCC distributions.
This is required to be able to build projects that use libgccjit for JIT
compilation of code. One example of this is "gccemacs", a branch of GNU Emacs
development (soon to land on the master branch of Emacs) that compiles Emacs
Lisp programs into native x86 code for faster runtime performance.
Thank you.
