Do you really expect people to build for x86_64 windows on PowperPC or Arm machines?
I really think it is ok to build for aarch64 windows on aarch64 and for x86_64 windows on x86_64. We build openSUSE for aarch64 on aarch64 and openSUSE for x86_64 on x86_64 after all. I do not see any added value at all to keep the ability to build x86_64 windows on non x86 archs.
This is called cross-compilation and it's a very valuable thing. I don't understand the reasoning behind to remove such a functionality.
The problem is the prefix of packages: 'mingw64-' applies for windows 64-bit and covers both x86_64 and aarch64.
Is there a bug report or a document explaining the problem in detail so we can try to fix it properly?
