Hi Levente,

The --cache-file was indeed dropped from the mingw-filesystem package
(from the mingw-w64 based toolchain). This is because it's only user,
glib, now has proper detection for the tests the cache file acted as a
workaround. So, glib doesn't require a --cache-file to get
cross-compiled anymore. Do you still have a use-case for it? If that's
so, we could return it.

Kind regards,
