i already described it: when 2 things depend on each other in this way, that is
an error:
http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_dependency
while setup.exe may account for this, it doesnt change the fact that this is not
correct. ideally one should depend on the other, and *not* vice versa. in this
case "gcc" should depend on "runtime", and not the other way around. the fix is
pretty simple; with "mingw64-x86_64-runtime.cygport", change:
REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core"
to
REQUIRES="mingw64-x86_64-headers"
compare this to "w32api-runtime.cygport":
REQUIRES="w32api-headers"
