[MSP-Greg (Greg L)]

ruby-loco mingw is failing, and a recent PR's here are also failing with similar issue. Log shows:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc: error: language c -DRC_INVOKED -I. -I. -I../src/win32 not recognized

I think the only thing that has changed since the most recent master commit (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/22b8ddfd1049) is an updated package in MSYS2/MinGW, binutils-2.36?

Fix for windres 2.36 [Bug #17602]

Add --preprocessor and --preprocessor-arg for each preprocessor
command arguments, as windres 2.36 requires preprocessor name and
arguments to be separated to respect spaces in these paths.
