Hi,

Apparently the required change is already available in upstream mingw
-w64 master: http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw
-w64/ci/7268caece9b4cb33ff698306e51140b11d7656b0/
However, this change hasn't been backported to the v4.x branch yet.
I'll ask upstream mingw-w64 developers if they can backport the commit
in question to the v4.x branch after which I can prepare an updated
mingw-headers package for Fedora.

Regards,

Erik
