Let's test it first, both in your context, and in a situation
where the Windows version is more recent, and also with a mingw64
version of MinGW. Perhaps the way we could do it is if you sent
the actual GDB patch to install those two gnulib patches into
our copy after testing on your end that this fixes things, and
then I could test your patch with newer Windows + MinGW64?

There's also the question of updating gnulib on master. I haven't
heard of anyone who's volunteered for that one... I assume one
will happen at some point out of someone needing it for other
reasons, but there is no guarantee this will happen. Do you want
to take care of doing an update as well? The earlier we do the update,
the smaller the delta between the version we are using today and
the version we update to is.
