I will check this out. Thanks. Rpm -qa |grep mingw32 returned nothing.

I maintain a package that originated on SGI IRIX64 and now builds on
linux, macOS, and even windows. For windows I've used Cygwin64, but
with WSL2, fewer users have Cygwin, so I ported the package to mingw64,
which has the advantages that there are cross compilers on linux which are
used by the R-project (there is considerable overlap in the libraries used
by R and my project).
On my Fedora box:
$ doas dnf provides /usr/i686-w64-mingw32
