Hello,

Caused by new gpg-error dropping gpg-error-config, this works for me:

and a successful build with gpg-error 1.46 and a patched build with 1.47 look
almost identical except for configure messages changing:
-checking for gpg-error-config... /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/gpg-error-config
+checking for gpg-error-config... no
 checking for gpgrt-config... /usr/bin/gpgrt-config
 configure: Use gpgrt-config with /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib as gpg-error-config
-checking for GPG Error - version >= 1.17... yes (1.45)
+checking for GPG Error - version >= 1.17... yes (1.46)
