gnu: Disable compressed debug sections for mingw-w64

Browse source 
The newly introduced --enable-compressed-debug-section=all configure
flag in the base binutils package makes the mingw-w64 build system
unusable. For example:

    $ guix build --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 hello

        and

    $ guix build mingw-w64-x86_64-winpthreads

Will fail to build with an error:

    "x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: final link failed: bad value"

Turning off this flag seems to fix the problem, but perhaps it'd also be
worthwhile to investigate the root cause.

* gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-binutils): When building for mingw
  targets, append "--enable-compressed-debug-section=no" to configure
  flags.
