Thanks for the report. I haven't yet updated my mingw GCC to 10 yet, so 
I didn't see the problem myself. Please report it to GCC, internal 
compiler errors are always compiler's fault and there is not much I can 
do. It seems that GCC support for Windows target is broken on every 
major release.


FWIW, I plan to port Wine Gecko to llvm-mingw and do my build with that 
for the next release. Upstream Firefox uses clang for mingw builds for 
quite a while now and it proved to be way more reliable. (GCC will 
obviously continue to work, at least its non-broken versions).


Thanks,

Jacek
