Hello,
my aarch64-w64-mingw32 cross compiler requires
windows-default-manifest for compiling itself, otherwise the linker
prints an error because default-manifest.o is missing.
I recovered windows-default-manifest package from here:

https://sourceware.org/git/cygwin-apps/windows-default-manifest.git

However, it requires a tiny fix for supporting also Windows for ARM64.
I fixed it and I attached my patch here, but since it seems to be not
touched in the last 11 years (at least from the logs), I'm not sure
where I can send my patch and if there is a maintainer for eventually
updating that package with my patch.
Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.
