No patches are required, it is all upstreamed if you use the 
right settings.

See my comment here:

https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/issues/48#issuecomment-1044782237


(the maintainer of that repo wants to do binary packages but with 
pthreads, which has some missing headers. should be an easy patch 
but i haven't gotten around to it and i guess iain hasn't yet 
either. but with the configure command i pasted there you can do 
it)
