gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mthreads’; did you mean ‘-pthread’?

First off, I am compiling for windows on linux. I do have the windows compiler installed though.
This is the command I am running:
env GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build main.go
And this is the output:
# runtime/cgo
gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mthreads’; did you mean ‘-pthread’?
How do I fix this?

You cannot use your host GCC compiler to compile for Windows, of course, that will not work. You need to install the appropriate toolchain with a compiler for the platform you want to compile for. In your case you need https://www.mingw-w64.org/ and something like CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build. You can search the issues here, or search globally how to cross-compile CGO, i.e. you can for example use zig etc.
