Windows implementation of setjmp/longjmp is done in
C:/WINDOWS/system32/ucrtbase.dll. Alas, on arm64, it seems to *always*
perform stack unwinding, which crashes from generated code.
By using alternative implementation built in mingw, we avoid doing stack
unwinding and this fixes crash when calling longjmp.

Shouldn't we check for __MINGW64__?
#if defined(__aarch64__) && defined(__MINGW64__)

So this is not stable. Better would be to check the symbols availability
at link-time via meson; see for example glusterfs_ftruncate_has_stat
which defines CONFIG_GLUSTERFS_FTRUNCATE_HAS_STAT.
A similar check could define CONFIG_MINGW64_HAS_SETJMP_LONGJMP.

I thought QEMU was only compiled using MinGW under Windows, (from CI,
that's the case, [1], [2]), but maybe that's a wrong assumption.
[1]
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.d/windows.yml
[2]
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/tests/docker/dockerfiles/fedora-win64-cross.docker
For windows-arm64, we need an alternative setjmp/longjmp implementation
(__builtin_setjmp and __builtin_longjmp in clang are not available),
thus, that makes MinGW mandatory, at least for this platform.
Would adding this be satisfying? Or better to add this check in Meson?
#ifndef __MINGW64__
#error MinGW must be available for this platform
#endif

You're right, it's not stable. Checking this using meson sounds a good
approach.
