MinGW: Use -static-libgcc when linking a DLL.

nmisch · nmisch · commit 284590e416b7 · 2014-10-21T22:55:47.000-04:00
When commit 846e91e switched the linker driver from dlltool/dllwrap to gcc, it became possible for linking to choose shared libgcc. Backends having loaded a module dynamically linked to libgcc can exit abnormally, which the postmaster treats like a crash. Resume use of static libgcc exclusively, like 9.3 and earlier. Back-patch to 9.4.
