Comment:

 To get back to the status quo we need to fix the accessibility issues.
 Currently the build breaks with `stdole2.tlb` not being found which is due
 to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288199.

 We probably need Jacek's
 https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/35635327/ being
 properly checked-in. It might be the case that we get a new binary blob
 that way. If that's the case we want to find a way to build that .tlb from
 source. I tried a bit but failed so far.
