Looking at the patches themselves:
26-libgccjit-mingw-host-shared.patch(2KB)
- Patch to override --enable-host-shared requirement
As far as I can tell, Nicholas made similar changes as part of c83027f32d9cca84959c7d6a1e519a0129731501.
Functionally identical, yes, but I chose not to introduce white-space-only changes spanning more than a dozen lines. I would also respectively suggest that Nicolas' "but not if building for Mingw" addition to the comment is grossly unsatisfactory ... the code itself tells me that it isn't done for MinGW; the comment should explain why.
As an aside, I would also note that both Nicolas' patch, and my 26-libgccjit-mingw-host-shared.patch, touch both configure.ac, and configure. While that is appropriate, for a patch to be applied to a tarball image, in which both files must be present, I would question its relevance in a patch against an SCM repository; does it not create potential for "thrashing", in the content of a generated file, such as configure? (IMO, generated files, such as configure, do not belong in SCM, but I do understand why some developers may choose to include them).

Ticket details:
ease add libgccjit to the binaries included in the MinGW GCC distributions.
This is required to be able to build projects that use libgccjit for JIT compilation of code.
One example of this is "gccemacs", a branch of GNU Emacs development (soon to land
on the master branch of Emacs) that compiles Emacs Lisp programs into native x86 code
for faster runtime performance.
Thank you.
