I was able to build PulseAudio 6.0RC1 with ORC successfuly.
To do this, I upgraded the mingw32-orc source package (and thus the
mingw32-liborc-devel package) to version 4.22; the same version as the
native orc source package.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mikedep333:branches:windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-orc

I will try to upstream it with the windows:mingw:win32 team/project on OBS.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-orc

However, it seems like the fundamental problem is that while most
compilers like gcc have a cross-compiler version, ORC does not.
Therefore, the mingw32-orc source package is reliant on the orc source
package, and they can get out of sync. I'll ask that team what they
want to do.
