Mingw is a native Windows hosted compiler using CR-LF EoLs, as is the Git for 
Windows you are using, and the patch you generated appears to be double spaced 
with a bunch of blank lines.
If you built Cygwin-hosted cross-compilers and target binutils, and used Cygwin 
git, you would not have to deal with any CR-LF EoLs.
