A new MinGW build is available in https://avidemux.org/nightly/win64/. Alongside this and other fixes, it adds an option to output LPCM (big-endian PCM) to the PCM audio encoder.

Confirmed working playback for mov+pcm/lpcm in Premiere (2.7.7r210104_win64).
On a side note, considering both MinGW and VC+ versions always install in the same two separate folders, can I just use .exe installers to update without un-installation first? Never tried it but it'd be a time saver to not uninstall each time.

At least with MinGW builds, just use the ZIP package or extract the content of the NSIS installer with 7z, then copy the folder to whatever location you want. VC++ installers can be extracted with 7z as well, it is only a bit more complicated (the payload is stored within the installer as as set of concatenated 7z archives).

Uninstalling the previous build is necessary to avoid an accumulation of dead uninstaller entries in Windows registry. Apart from that, never overwrite the previous installation. This may have unexpected results when files have been renamed or removed.
