Hi Eric,

Some time ago I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969231
against the Fedora mingw-libvirt package for this issue. According to
Daniel Berrange winpthreads isn't following the POSIX specifications as
the symbol pthread_sigmask should be mentioned in signal.h while for
winpthreads this symbol is currently only mentioned in pthread.h.


Setting up an environment with Fedora MinGW + winpthreads requires some
preparation (as I don't want to pollute rawhide yet). A recent rawhide
environment should be enough as starting point. I just created some
scratch builds which you can install directly with 'yum localinstall' to
have a winpthreads-based mingw environment:
