Why is libgccjit need to depend on libintl anyway?
However, I do see that the version of gcc.exe in FRS is double the size of
my staged copy, and appears to be statically linked with both libiconv.a
and libintl.a, rather than with libiconv.dll.a and libintl.dll.a. I think I
know why, but I'd like to review the issue; the DLL dependencies were
intended.
I think statically linking against libintl is a Good Thing, especially since,
as we see, the newer libintl-8.dll is not 100% compatible, as it causes the
program to use libintl's version of setlocale. If using that entry point could
be avoided, then a dynamic dependency on libintl wouldn't be a problem, I think
(or rather hope). Otherwise, it's a bit of DLL hell, given the same name of the
DLL.

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.
