Hi!
I tried to compile mintty-3.5.0,
but failed with the message:
windres -c 65001 --preprocessor 'gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED -MMD -MP
-DTARGET=x86_64-pc-cygwin -DNDEBUG' res.rc ../bin/cygwin64/res.o
/bin/sh: gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED -MMD -MP -DTARGET=x86_64-pc-cygwin
-DNDEBUG: command not found
windres: preprocessing failed.
This is due to a bug in windres. The binutils 2.36 version is broken,
see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27594
A workaround is available but I'd prefer to let them fix their bug.
For now, please downgrade binutils to 2.35 and maybe make a copy of its
windres tool into your path.

How to reproduce
With source from https://github.com/mintty/mintty at tag: 3.5.0,
running
make
failed at the point above.
.
With mintty-3.5.0-1.cygport,
running
cygport mintty-3.5.0-1.cygport all
failed at the same point.

I've installed these packages as described in a file 'INSTALL'.
What is still necessary for successful build ?

windres should be in the binutils package.
