Compile failure on `stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu`, but not `stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`

These are the verbose logs from the GNU install: gnu.log

The problems seem to start with a bunch of messages like this:

For comparison, the MSVC compilation without errors: msvc.log

Can you make sure you have the latest version of binutils installed? I think it needs at least version 2.40. Can you include all the version information of your gcc and ld toolchains?

I am skeptical that this is a problem caused by cargo-expand.
