Compiling WineTest.exe on Debian 9

[Francois Gouget]

Since the custom dialog control data user32 test was added [1] it's no 
longer possible to compile WineTest.exe on Debian 9: one gets the 
following compilation error.

../../.././../wine-native/tools/winegcc/winegcc -o user32_test.exe -B../../.././../wine-native/tools/winebuild \
  --sysroot=../../.. -b i686-w64-mingw32 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables broadcast.o class.o \

  ../../../dlls/advapi32/libadvapi32.a 
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-windres: dialog control data: not enough binary data


The reason is that the binutils-mingw-w64-{i686,x86-64} packages on 
Debian 9 are too old; it only has binutils 2.28-5+7.4+b4.

Unfortunately no recent version of binutils was backported and the 
version available in Debian Testing has seen major packaging changes 
that make it impossible to backport.

The solution is to apply Dmitry's binutils patch [2] to the 2.28 package 
and rebuild it on Debian 9. This is what I did for the TestBot. I then 
created a Debian bug report [3] but since this is Debian Stable there is 
little hope it will be fixed. So I also uploaded the resulting packages 
to my website for anyone who needs them.
