I am curious: how do you build Git? I ask because I build Git on Windows
many times a day, and I did not encounter any link problems.

My end goal is to build static native Windows Git via Cygwin and the
mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core package.

That is certainly a worthy goal, and I would highly recommend to mention
that particular cross-compiling setup in the commit message. It's not like
this is the easiest way to build native Git on Windows...

In addition to the patch being explained well, I also care that it
does not break existing builds.  I do not think it is the case for
you, and I do think the patch does the right thing, but just double
checking to see if you have objections to the change itself.

Thanks.
