'Production' build doesn't pass testsuite on Win32

Please describe the problem.

Building an optimized Windows binary with flag Production active doesn't result in one that is able to pass its test suite.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-18.13.yaml setup && stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-18.13.yaml build --flag 'git-annex:Production' --flag 'git-annex:-Crypton'

(I found that the Crypton flag needs to be explicitly negated due to the Production flag somehow making it active causing the build to fail because of a missing dependency crypton. A bug in Cabal, perhaps?)

Then run the test suite in Git Bash in a directory that contains the executable and the requisite DLLs (the latter obtained by way of stack exec ldd -- git-annex.exe and copying over the ones in /mingw64). Observe the following (just is a cross-platform command runner that I use instead of GNU make.)

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Sure, Git Annex is great as always. I use it several times a week with my multigigabyte backups, where it gives structure to my image-based backup routines, so you could say I'm a believer.

Update 20 Dec 2023

P.S. This is a bit embarrasing but I found out this is notabug, cf. my comment --jkniiv

my report was actually a User Failure on my part

Uh-oh, after adding the option --test-debug to the test subcommand I got a lead on the real culprit and it wasn't git-annex but libmagic:

git-annex: thread blocked indefinitely in an STM transaction

So the real error turned out to be a user failure of mine: libmagic (or the msys2 package mingw-w64-x86_64-file) had a recent update and the new library didn't like my previous magic database located in the fallback location %localappdata%\.magic\magic.mgc. By copying the msys2 file /mingw64/share/misc/magic.mgc to the aforementioned location, the whole issue cleared itself and this report became moot.
