Bootstrap build fails at configuring ninja on Windows x64

Hi,

Win 10 x64
python install: python 3.8.1, meson 0.54, setuptools 46.1.3
mingw install: whatever its installer considers to be up-to-date
I always cerbero with `visualstudio`, `nvcodec` and `intelmsdk` variants enabled (tried with `-c /config/win64.cbc` and without).

Failed to build the current master on Windows. First I tried to just update my previous build but that didn't work (complained about not finding nasm.exe among other things) so gradually I went back to scratch (deleted the build folder, even wiped the .cache). Now bootstrap exits with:
