-  # Here we do a pretty heinous thing which is to mangle the MinGW installation
-  # we just had above. Currently, as of this writing, we're using MinGW-w64

-  # be the first version which contains a fix for #40546, builds randomly
-  # failing during LLVM due to ar.exe/ranlib.exe failures.
-  #
-  # Unfortunately, though, 6.3.0 *also* is the first version of MinGW-w64 builds
-  # to contain a regression in gdb (#40184). As a result if we were to use the
-  # gdb provided (7.11.1) then we would fail all debuginfo tests.
-  #
-  # In order to fix spurious failures (pretty high priority) we use 6.3.0. To
-  # avoid disabling gdb tests we download an *old* version of gdb, specifically
-  # that found inside the 6.2.0 distribution. We then overwrite the 6.3.0 gdb
-  # with the 6.2.0 gdb to get tests passing.
-  #
-  # Note that we don't literally overwrite the gdb.exe binary because it appears
-  # to just use gdborig.exe, so that's the binary we deal with instead.
