I see, good point.

There's a concern in this bug:

that pulling in mingw-srvany pulls in too many dependencies.  We only
need this binary because it gets copied into Windows virtual machines
during various virt-v2v and virt-customize operations (it is used to
run some "firstboot"-type services in Windows).

The dependency chain is:

virt-v2v -> mingw32-srvany -> mingw32-crt
                                   |
                          \        v
                           -> mingw32-filesystem -> mingw-binutils-generic

Both dependencies of mingw32-srvany are justified -- the program is a
Windows binary that gets installed in the mingw "filesystem", and it
needs various C runtime dependencies if you want to run it under Wine.
But indirectly pulling in programs like mingw-objdump and mingw-strip
seems less justified.

What do you think about adding {ucrt64,mingw32,mingw64}-srpm-macros to
contain the rpmbuild macros and the dependency on mingw-binutils-generic?
