GDB 12.1 mingw build fails on Fedora 35

GDB 12.1 mingw build fails on Fedora 35

[Alexander Fedotov via Gdb-patches]

Hi Tom

I'm trying to build GDB 12.1 from the release tarball on Fedora 35 using
MinGW i686-w64-mingw32 compiler. And getting following gnulib error:

../../../src_gdb/gnulib/import/closedir.c: In function 'closedir':
../../../src_gdb/gnulib/import/closedir.c:58:11: error: 'DIR' has no member
named 'current'
   58 |   if (dirp->current != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
      |           ^~
../../../src_gdb/gnulib/import/closedir.c:59:20: error: 'DIR' has no member
named 'current'
   59 |     FindClose (dirp->current);
      |                    ^~
make[6]: *** [Makefile:2632: libgnu_a-closedir.o] Error 1

I found a commit with the comment "Fedora 34, and also using the Fedora
mingw cross toolchain."

Is there something I can check on my machine

Best regards,
Alex

I have definitely seen this error before, but I don't remember what I
did to fix it.

I have the gdb 12 branch checked out and I was able to this build on
Fedora 34:

murgatroyd. ./config.status --version
config.status
configured by ../binutils-gdb/configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69,
  with options "'--host=i686-w64-mingw32' '--target=i686-w64-mingw32' '--disable-binutils' '--disable-gas' '--disable-gold' '--disable-gprof' '--disable-ld' '--disable-guile' '--disable-source-highlight' '--without-debuginfod' 'LDFLAGS=-lssp' '--disable-sim' '--disable-gprofng' 'host_alias=i686-w64-mingw32' 'target_alias=i686-w64-mingw32'"


I haven't upgraded to Fedora 35 yet.

FWIW git master doesn't build in this configuration for me due to some
BFD changes.
