Then they have debug symbols in. I will look into it. Maybe cmake
install strips the binaries of debug symbols.

Yuk, but okay. I will look into this too. You should find both in the
mingw/bin directory under the kicad-winbuilder directory. I expect
bumping the mingw installer bumped the version of gcc they default
too.

You will also find libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll under the KiCad bin directory. I
will do a vanilla test again. I obviously have these dll's in my path
somewhere.

This will hopefully clear up by fixing the other issues.
