How about something from binutils - I presume both gcc and clang need
binutils to operate?  Here's from my setup:

mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ar.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/as.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/dlltool.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.bfd.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.gold.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/nm.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/objcopy.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/objdump.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ranlib.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/readelf.exe
mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils /mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/strip.exe


Paul - if you use one of those as the key_program, does it work?
