Looking to make a GDC-12 mingw64 package

Hi GDC
I've been able to build gdc-12.1 on ubuntu20 using
```
wget
http://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/releases/gcc-12.1.0/gcc-12.1.0.tar.xz
tar -xvf gcc-12.1.0.tar.xz
cd gcc-12.1.0
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc12 --enable-languages=d \
--enable-libphobos-checking --disable-multilib
--program-suffix=-12
make -j6
make install
```
Now I'm looking to repeat the process for mingw64. I see that
I'll need an older version of gdc first, say 11.3. So that's
okay, I'll build it twice, but in general I'm wondering if:
1. Anyone has built gdc-11 in the mingw64 environment since it
seems a few patches are required?
2. How we might go about creating a pacman package for gdc-12
since it requires an existing D compiler?
The first one is just an information request since the old
PKGBUILD files are on github, but the second one is a bit more
daunting. Without a previous version of gdc to build gdc it
might be hard to get a mingw64 package accepted.
Thanks
