Yes, I think so. The purpose is to list the changes, and in particular
the fixes that a minor release brings. In your case, all it needs
to say is that it fixes a build issue on MinGW when using the latest
MinGW headers.

You just need to go to the PR database on bugzilla:
- Create an account if not already done;
- Log in
- Create a PR:
* Subject (Eg): GDB 7.12 build failure with latest MinGW headers
* Body (Eg): Copy-paste the error you got
- Mark the PR as fixed in GDB 7.12.1:
* Change the target milestone to 7.12.1
* Change the status to fixed
* Add a URL to the gdb-patches discussions where the fix
was discussed and accepted
Thank you,
