ld.exe: .rsrc merge failure: multiple non-default manifests

[dinkc64]

Hi,
I'm using this one: "GCC 16.1.0 (with POSIX threads) + MinGW-w64 14.0.0 (MSVCRT) - release 3 (LATEST)"

Starting with gcc 16.1.0, I get this error while building the project
FinalBurn Neo, windows 64bit. It's a huge project, and includes it's own manifest.

The git is: https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo

it requires perl and nasm.exe in the path, and run this to build it:
"mingw32-make mingw -j 42 BUILD_X64_EXE=1"

When LD throws that error, sometimes I get an exe, and sometimes I don't. It's random,
for now I backleveled to your previous gcc 15.

Please help! :) I've been using your wonderful ports for years, and never had a problem
until 16.1.0
p.s.
Note: I spent maybe 2 days trying different ideas to remedy the problem from google searching, but, nothing helped

best regards,

I have had the same issue since I included a default manifest (to support long paths).

A solution is to delete (or rename) x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/default-manifest.o from the mingw64 directory.

I have reported the bug to the binutils team: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34362

@brechtsanders thank you for the workaround, it solved my problem :)
Also thanks for letting upstream know about it!
