We're maintaining a separate repository at https://github.com/ocaml/winpthreads, with instructions on how to embed the subtree as a submodule in the ocaml sources at https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/HACKING.adoc#the-winpthreads-library-for-the-msvc-port. The subtree with these instructions allow us to keep the same commit id as the upstream in our winpthreads submodule.

To be clear, this patch is a copy of the top-level gitignore. May I ask: it doesn't seem that winpthreads, or other mingw-w64-libraries are tied to a specific commit of mingw. Maybe they don't need to be in the mingw-w64 "monorepo"? I understand it wouldn't be easy if they're used for instance to build mingw.
