From: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

This option was added in fa93bb20d72 (MinGW: Fix stat definitions to
work with MinGW runtime version 4.0, 2013-09-11), i.e. a _long_ time
ago. So long, in fact, that it still targeted MinGW. But we switched to
mingw-w64 in 2015, which seems not to share the problem, and therefore
does not require a fix.

Even worse: This flag is incompatible with UCRT64, which we are about to
support by way of upstreaming `mingw-w64-git` to the MSYS2 project, see
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/26470 for details.

So let's send that option into its well-deserved retirement.
