That's weird.  As you've correctly indicated later, CloseHandle() should
be resolved to a KERNEL32.DLL reference, and not to your executable.

You don't really provide enough detail, for anyone to do that.  You have
indicated that you are using Debian's pre-packaged cross-compiler tools,
which we do not formally support.  I too cross-compile all of my MinGW
code, in my case on Arch-based Manjaro Linux, but using my own build of
mingw32-gcc, rather than the Arch-packaged offering.  I suspect, as you
have indicated that you do, that Debian may have messed up their latest
cross-compiler package, but right now, that's pure speculation.  If you
reduce your issue to a SSCCE, I would be willing to check if it can be
successfully built with my mingw32-gcc tools.
