brotli-0.0.0.0: library-dirs: /mingw64/lib is a relative path which makes no
sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can make paths
relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use --force to
override)

This appears to be due to part of brotli.cabal, namely pkgconfig-depends: libbrotlienc, libbrotlidec. If I replace that in a local fork of the package with extra-libraries: libbrotlienc, libbrotlidec, it builds as expected. I will submit a pull request, accordingly.
