Hi
I'd say, as least as it stands now, this is because the dependency
generators require mingw-objdump, see mingw.req [1].

mingw-binutils-generic contains a random selection of binaries:
$ rpm -ql mingw-binutils-generic
/usr/bin/mingw-nm
/usr/bin/mingw-objcopy
/usr/bin/mingw-objdump
/usr/bin/mingw-strip
For unclear reasons, mingw32-filesystem depends on
mingw-binutils-generic since this commit:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mingw-filesystem/c/de21385695148a980c81d68396ffc883988fce74
but it's not explained why. It seems off that the base "-filesystem"
package should need these binaries (why these are not others? why at
all?)
It seems like mingw-binutils-generic was added back in 2012 when we
added 64 bit support, and contains "Utilities which are needed for
both the Win32 and Win64 toolchains". Which is fair enough but it's
unclear why they need to be in the filesystem dependencies.
Rich.
