gnu: Disable compressed debug sections for mingw-w64
The newly introduced --enable-compressed-debug-section=all configure
flag in the base binutils package makes the mingw-w64 build system
unusable. For example:
$ guix build --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 hello
and
$ guix build mingw-w64-x86_64-winpthreads
Will fail to build with an error:
"x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: final link failed: bad value"
Turning off this flag seems to fix the problem, but perhaps it'd also be
worthwhile to investigate the root cause.
* gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-binutils): When building for mingw
targets, append "--enable-compressed-debug-section=no" to configure
flags.
