I've noticed that the most recent mingw32-binutils package is in fact
using upstream binutils (it's shipped separately by mingw.org, but it
is identical to gnu.org binutils).  So the diagram should look like
this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  mingw32-               mingw64-               darwinx-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  filesystem             filesystem             filesystem

  binutils  <--- ? --->  binutils               odcctools
    (from upstream)        (from upstream)        (from Apple)
 
  gcc       <--- ? --->  gcc                    gcc
    (from upstream)        (from upstream)        (from Apple)

  w32api                 headers                headers
    (from mingw)           (from mw64)            (from Apple)

  runtime                runtime                -
    (from mingw)           (from mw64)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which raises also the possibility of combining mingw32-binutils and
mingw64-binutils together (as well as mingw32-gcc and mingw64-gcc as
mentioned in the previous email).
