Just wondering which MinGW version you are using? I have already
given up on MinGW.org, mingw-w64 is the way to go. MSYS2 is
probably the easier to use mingw-w64 distribution out there.

What do you mean by this? VS2010 is kind of quite old already. Anyway,
I never tried to use the VS solution before. Just used VS2017 Community
version to build sdcc and it failed apart completely.

Just use MSYS2 and try again.
