[x265] v2.6+37 (MinGW): HEVC encoder version & build info = (null)

[Mario Rohkrämer]

I just built x265 2.6+37-1949157705ce in MSYS2/MinGW with GCC 7.3.0.  
Printing a full help page reports at first:

x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version (null)
x265 [info]: build info (null)


A previous version reported e.g.:

x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 2.6+27-2f3c4158cf35
x265 [info]: build info [Windows][GCC 7.2.0][64 bit] 8bit+10bit+12bit


The only recent patch I would suspect as reason would be:

CMake: blacklist mingw implicit link libraries

Did it go one step beyond the intended purpose?
