Well, suffice it to say that the provided configuration in config/mingw 
is explicitly designed for MSYS2 MinGW, which doesn't need that switch 
(and would cause redefinition warnings if it was set).

A cross-build from Linux is a completely separate kettle of fish.  There 
would be a lot of other problems with that, starting with the lack of a 
Linux edition of Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop...
