Dear release team,
This is a pre-upload unblock request for gcc-mingw-w64, to fix a
regression affecting gcov support and profile-guided optimisation,
both of which are completely broken.
The proposed debdiff is attached.
unblock gcc-mingw-w64/24.2
Regards,
Stephen

Fix gcov handling
When gcov is supported in a cross-compiler setup, GCC assumes that
either the headers are present and shared with the host, or present
and set up in a sysroot, or absent. We have headers which aren’t
shared and aren’t in a sysroot, so we need to tell GCC where they are
*without* specifying them as an argument to --with-headers (the latter
must only be enabled).
Closes: #989682

-Description: Add __gcov_exit for gcov fallback
+Description: Fix gcov build issues
Author: Stephen Kitt <skitt@debian.org>
When gcov is not supported on the target, gcc uses a fallback
do-nothing implementation. That’s missing a __gcov_exit()
implementation, causing linking errors.
