I was not fast enough to get https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124806 approved and merged before last Friday.
Do you think this is something that should be included in 16.2? Or would you rather wait until after 16.2 is released?
I don't know if the issue is limited to mingw, but any build without mmap would crash cc1plus when using modules and there is an error of some sort.

Kind regards,
