The linker generates a bad executable file with i686-w64-migw32-gcc v14.2.0, with the warning:

The build was carried out from the MINGW32 (MSYS2) environment.
The file does not run: Windows 10 reports that "The application cannot be run on your PC."

Additional information / Дополнительная информация

The linker has two incompatible options --dynamicbase and --image-base (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/base-base-address?view=msvc-170) which Probably on the older version (which is now in CI) mingw-w64 somehow worked.

In addition, if you use --image-base, then for x86 it should be 0x400000, and for x64 0x140000000.

Please paste PE headers of the builds here if you have them on hand.

Removed --image-base
It builds working artifacts, both x32 and x64 .
Tested on win 10 x64.

Sorry, but don't you think that commit messages like "Update makefile" are harmful and do not reflect the essence.

[EgorWeders]

I make it fast in browser for testing and for you, my fault but i cant find how to edit and remove commits on web github))

P.S
I am not author, just using comms for help

Yes it works, I made these changes locally. According to Microsoft documentation: "For security reasons, Microsoft recommends you use the /DYNAMICBASE option instead of specifying base addresses for your executables." So it seems unnecessary to specify the base address initially.
