      Since we switched from -debug-and-release to -release -force-debug-info -separate-debug-info the size of the MinGW releases have been moderately growing:

       

      File Qt Version Size (MinGW 64 bit) Size (MSVC 2017 64 bit)
      Qt5Core.dll Qt 5.12.6 6,09 MB 5,87 MB
      Qt5Core.dll Qt 5.14.1 7,91 MB 5,90 MB

      we should understand why this is the case, and whether it is really necessary.
