[question] msys2: too many packages by default
See original GitHub issueCurrently, msys2 by default installs base-devel, gcc and binutils.
Shouldn’t this be only base-devel?
I don’t see why it should contain a gcc toolchain.
The resulting package will also be a lot smaller.

Some autotools package could build using gcc where-as the profile was expecting Visual Studio.
If something needs windres, then it needs gcc. I don’t think it’s good to mix bash (msys2) and gcc in one package.
I need to start searching issues before submitting PRs 😃 My motivation with adding binutils is to fix #8876.
