I needed the changes in 7009674 to get this to build cleanly on
MinGW.  One of the changes in that commit is in lib/time.in.h.  This
is the same problem already reported for another Gnulib header:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2015-06/msg00035.html

It sounds like similar changes are needed in other Gnulib headers,
lest they produce similar problems at some point.  I can provide a
list of all the __need_SOMETHING symbols used by the MinGW headers, if
that will help.

After the above commit, Emacs builds and generally seems to work, but
crashes inside icalendar tests.  Seems like something with heap
corruption.  I'm looking into that now.

Thanks.
