I believe this is issue is cause by the fact that mmap is missing on Windows.

In gcc/ggc-common.cc this causes use of default_gt_pch_get_address() as
HOST_HOOKS_GT_PCH_GET_ADDRESS which just returns NULL resulting in "cannot
write PCH file: required memory segment unavailable".

Though mmap doesn't exist, it isn't that hard to emulate, as can be seen in
https://github.com/alitrack/mman-win32 , so maybe some code is needed to use
the Windows memory mapping mechanism.

I did try to build against https://github.com/alitrack/mman-win32, but I ran
into the issue that this requires linking with the library mman-win32, but
passing it to LDFLAGS doesn't work as it's not near the end of the linker
command and link order is important on Windows/MinGW.
