Adding support for this, some workarounds were taken in order to compile with mingw but we finally have mysqldump as well.

couldn't build it for clang

Nice! 👍

Just out of curiosity: Is the huge patch file based on some existing code/issue/pull request? I'm asking because it contains a comment referring to "CONC-789", which is the ID of a ticket on MariaDB's Jira instance (https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONC-789). And such a big patch file (almost 1700 lines) would be quite a nightmare to maintain, because it will likely need to be refreshed on every update.

I didn't think I'd bother, since I didn't believe anyone at mariadb cares about compiling with mingw, if that is the case I could prepare a more focused patch. however the process of rebasing shouldn't be too exhausting too mantain since it is mostly condition headers.

Two things:

• Has anyone had the chance to do some tests with the artifacts from the CI? For example, can one connect with mariadb.exe to a MariaDB instance and issue a few queries? Does the mariadb-dump.exe create a correct DB dump? And so on.
• There is pkgrel=2 in the PKGBUILD, but it should start at 1.
