Rebuilding with --host=i686-w64-mingw32, I see a different story, and
match the results you posted earlier, with different results on whether
fseeko exists and needs replacing.  But I'm still not hitting test
failures, so maybe it is a bug that has been fixed (or been introduced)
between the version of mingw64 on the machine I'm testing, vs. the
machine where you are testing.

It could also be something msys does differently than cygwin.  At any
rate, I'm fairly confident that if the lseek bug is present, and fseeko
is detected, then it should be replaced, so I'm still playing around
with my cross-compile to see if I can get that to happen.  I'll let you
know if I need more help.
