Hi,

Are you setting the "CC" or "CXX" environment variables? Can you describe the
steps (and the environment) you are using to build Vim using MingW?

Command line:

make -f Make_ming.mak -j16

Attached are my Make_ming.mak and Make_cyg_ming.mak

I just noticed that for some reason it's just using "cc" instead of "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" like it should.

It works if I use this command-line:
CC='' CXX='' make -f Make_ming.mak -j16

This is fixed with patch 8.2.5101.
