            Bug ID: 17278
           Summary: ld does not accept UTF8-encoded response files
                    ('@file') on windows using mingw
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: rafaelauler at gmail dot com

When using response files with international characters on mingw/windows, I
must encode then in the old/legacy ISO-8859-1 or whatever is the system's
current code page. There is no support for UTF8 with/without BOM or UTF16.

This is weird since on UNIX/cygwin hosts, the response files use UTF8. This
means that ld for mingw and ld for cygwin cannot share the same response files.
