I don't use the bootstrap packages any more, since all my machines
have long been bootstrapped.  However it could cause the difference
you are seeing, and it may be worth upgrading the bootstrap package to
the latest MinGW version to see if you can get it to build.  Maybe the
patch is redundant with the latest bootstrap package.
