In several places we use assert(FEATURE), and assume that if FEATURE is disabled, all following code is removed as unreachable. Which allows us to compile-out functions that are only present with FEATURE, and have a link-time failure if the functions remain used. MinGW does not mark its internal function _assert() as noreturn, so the compiler cannot see when code is unreachable, which leads to link errors for this host that are not present elsewhere. The current build-time failure concerns 62823083b8a2, but I remember having seen this same error before. Fix it once and for all for MinGW.
