I think this is the answer: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-04/msg00021.html The bug is only present in the (now-defunct) mingw (the 32-bit-only) project; the mingw64 32- and 64-bit headers are correct, so it no longer buys us anything to work around it. I'm testing a patch now. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
