premake
undefined reference to `__imp_CertFreeCertificateContext' when building under MSYS2
I'm trying to build premake-5.0.0-beta1-src under MSYS2 but get this linking error:
zheka@hydra MINGW64 /c/projects/premake5/premake-5.0.0-beta1-src/build/gmake2.windows

However, if I add libcrypt32 to LIBS the build succeeds:

Looks like this library was forgotten at some point. Or is this only relevant to MSYS2 and not for other MinGW-related environments?
Is this happening with the Bootstrap files or the files generated by running Premake?
It happens when I build using the generated files of source release inside the build/gmake2.windows directory.
We don't assume --cc=mingw when running gmake2 with --os=windows - I'm not sure what the expected environment is. This is the line that generates that directory:
https://github.com/premake/premake-core/blob/6b8cabad1640ee7fa2cefbc1a526afbb859d393f/scripts/package.lua#L215
I'm not aware of any other situation where you'd use a "GNU Makefile" on Windows other than with MinGW (or the alternatives), perhaps gmake2.windows should assume mingw?
