Without the change mingw32-gcc fails to build as:

The change follows upstream change introduced in
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fc0f78c3f43af1967cb7b1ee8f4947f3b890aa2
This reverts commit 8e48232180.
Since pkgsStatic.stdenv.cc can only produce static binaries, there's
no reason to include that compilers e.g. libstdc++.so.
linux-headers-5.13 removed <cyclades.h> along with device support.
Backport a single https://gcc.gnu.org/PR100379 upstream change to
fix gcc build.
Use local (unmodified) upstream patches to avoid fetchpatch dependency.
When upgrading from gcc 9 to 10, avr-gcc started to hit the hydra log
limit, preventing the binary cache from being populated.
This commit tries to workaround this issue by passing `-s` to make for
avr-gcc 10 and 11 which seem to exhibit this problem.
Reference #135605.
Okay, GCC might not technically support _every_ platform in
platforms.unix, but I think it would be easier to subtract those as
they're discovered, if that even matters, rather than trying to
exhaustively list every Unix it does support.
(I ran into this because I wanted to build GCC for NetBSD, which it
definitely supports.)
gcc's configure system has the nasty habit (for us) of judging for
itself if it is building a cross compiler (or cross compiling), but on
the limited information of the build, host and target platforms' config
which only contains a subset of the information we encode in
`stdenv.*Platform`. The practical consequence was that prior to this
change building `pkgsLLVM.buildPackages.gcc` actually fails because it
refuses to use `--with-headers` with something it believes to not be a
cross compiler.
As a workaround we force the appropriate variable in the configure
script to always be `yes` regardless of its own conditional check.
At some point we probably should report this issue in some capacity, so
future gcc versions don't force us into workarounds like this and
acdc783418.
