x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld lib dir configuration issue

[Whek rin <whekrin at gmail dot com>]

The utility x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld from package mingw-x86_64-binutils
cannot by default find libraries from the path
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sysroot/mingw/lib, where the package
mingw64-x86_64-runtime installs them. I believe this is a build
configuration issue. I've attached a zip file which contains a test
case which illustrates the issue. Inspect and run
build_hellotest_mingw.sh and it's output, in particular how it can't
find e.g. libkernel32 without a -L argument to the correct location.
I renamed the .zip to .z__ to get around the spam filters, you may
need to rename it to open it.
Thanks, Matt
