Is it a false positive or my cross-compilation toolchain is indeed producing infected executables?

VirusTotal also reports numerous detections when I upload the file to it, in contrast with zero with version v1.10.0.
It also reports some detections with 32-bit versions, both v1.10 and v1.11.

Compiled again and uploaded again as websocat_rebuild.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.exe, which scores less detections.
