+
+Use -static-libgcc to avoid linking to libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll.
+
+Since gcc 4.8 there is a regression in that plain C programs may link
+to libgcc_s.a which has a dependency on libgcc_s_sjlj.dll.  This is
+for example triggered by using long long arithmetic on a 32 bit
+Windows (e.g symbol __udivdi3).
+
+As usual the gcc maintainers don't care about backward compatibility
+and declare that as some kind of compatibility fix and not as
+regression from 4.7 and all earlier versions.
+
+Note that we ignore this patch if it seems to be already applied
+upstream.
