Not sure if that code is supposed to be compatible with MinGW, but if
it is, there's still a problem, since set-permissions.c won't compile:

  set-permissions.c: In function 'set_acls':
  set-permissions.c:496:7: error: #error Must have acl_delete_def_file (see POSIX 1003.1e draft 17).
   #     error Must have acl_delete_def_file (see POSIX 1003.1e draft 17).
	 ^
  set-permissions.c:534:7: warning: implicit declaration of function 'acl_delete_def_file' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
	 ret = acl_delete_def_file (name);
	 ^
  Makefile:1563: recipe for target `set-permissions.o' failed

It's not a problem for Emacs, since the MinGW build doesn't compile
that file, but it means that other projects using gnulib might not
build on MinGW.

Thanks.
