CI: the windows cross build installs the one mingw target it uses - #237
Merged

Conversation
The mkfs-windows job's apt-get install has failed three runs out of three: the mingw-w64 metapackage pulls both targets, both thread models and g++, 277 MB in 25 packages, and the runner's mirror served them at a package a minute, past the script's five-minute guard. The cross build is C for x86_64 with the posix thread model: the compiler, its binutils and the headers for that target alone, with no recommended packages, a quarter of the download.

🎯 Why
The
mkfs-windowsjob'sapt-get installhas failed three runs out of three: https://github.com/forkcloser/erofs/actions/runs/42751440362 on main, and both attempts of https://github.com/forkcloser/erofs/actions/runs/42751565149 on #233, each killed by the script's five-minute guard. Themingw-w64metapackage pulls both targets, both thread models and g++, 277 MB in 25 packages, and the runner's mirror served them at one every twenty to sixty seconds while the index refresh just before fetched 13 MB in a second.🛠️ What
.github/scripts/build-erofs-utils.sh, the windows branch:binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix mingw-w64-x86-64-devwith--no-install-recommends, in place ofmingw-w64.🧪 How
The cross build is C for one target with one thread model: it calls
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc,-ar,-windresand-strip, and installs lz4 and the compat headers into/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32. V:gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-posixregistersx86_64-w64-mingw32-gccthrough update-alternatives and depends onbinutils-mingw-w64-x86-64,gcc-mingw-w64-base, its runtime andmingw-w64-x86-64-dev(noble's package records); none of the three carries a Recommends; the debs total about 62 MB against the log's 277. V: shellcheck clean,just lintgreen. U: the install itself ran on no Ubuntu host here; this job's run is the proof, and the guard stays.
