linking with x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc failed: exit code: 1 (regression on 1.87)

Code

I tried this code from tigerbeetle-unofficial-sys crate.

I expected to see this to compile and link okay:

cargo test -p tigerbeetle-unofficial-sys --all-features 

but it started to give the following error:

error: linking with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` failed: exit code: 1

Based on the linker error message, I believe this is a duplicate of #139352, thank you for the report.
