libwinpthread-1.dll dependency issue

I've gotten multiple reports that my recent g/Vim windows x64 builds

(via Cygwin) have a dependency error regarding a missing

libwinpthread-1.dll. But I don't see the errors, so I suspect there is

some static/dynamic issue recently introduced in the Vim source

between 8.0.407 and 8.0.430.

Any clues?

Some versions of libiconv-*.dll (or libintl-*.dll) require
libwinpthread-1.dll, only for x64 and not for x86.

This depends on the version of libiconv used. Newer Versions of libiconv
do not need libwinpthread anymore, but there is a new dependency for
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll for the 32bit builds.

See https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/pull/20

Not sure how much of this is relevant when building under Cygwin
environment however.

Best,
Christian

We've discovered this dependency error is caused by the +mzscheme

feature.

Sorting through the fix is beyond me, so for now, my builds will omit

that feature.
