it doesn't seem like that part of the code has changed, but I may have
overlooked something.

Could you check if coreutils from
https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/coreutils,
master branch, builds on MinGW? (The upstream version of coreutils doesn't use
the latest version of gnulib yet, but this version does.)

If that fails, what config.h do you get there, and does it differ from
the config you get with
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/coreutils.git? Do the Savannah coreutils build?

Thanks,
Andreas
