This issue has been [fixed here](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/5580), but as of this writing, it has not been shipped in a stable release. One workaround is to use the PyInstaller master branch instead of the version on PyPI.
First, clone PyInstaller onto a Linux machine with MinGW tools installed (`apt install mingw-w64`). In its `booloader` directory, compile with `python3 waf all`. Copy the *entire* pyinstaller directory to a Windows machine. From an elevated command prompt, install it with `python setup.py install`. Check that it was successfully installed by running `pyinstaller`. If so, follow the instructions below, but do not install pyinstaller using pip in step #2.
