ci: Remove redundant `DEP_OPTS` from “Windows-cross UCRT” job
GCC-based tools already follow the standard naming convention for the
`x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt` target.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a minor cleanup to Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) configuration. It removes one redundant line that explicitly set compiler names for a Windows cross-compilation job, because the build system already figures out those names automatically. There is no security relevance.
No security action required. Treat as routine CI maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
Commit 48496caa removes export DEP_OPTS="CC=${HOST}-gcc CXX=${HOST}-g++" from ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh. The commit message explains that GCC-based tools already follow the standard naming convention for the x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt target, making the explicit DEP_OPTS assignment redundant. This is a CI maintenance change with no effect on shipped code, consensus logic, wallet handling, networking, or build outputs.
