[bug #40227] Various fixes for MSVC build of 4.0

[Christian Boos]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #40227 (project make):

I found the _vsnprintf_s declaration in my MinGW installation:

.../mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/sec_api/stdio_s.h

And this gets included from <stdio.h>.
I suppose this must be a relatively recent addition,
as I installed that version today (major.minor is 3.11).

I added a version check to the patch, the numbers can be 
refined to pinpoint the introduction of _vsnprintf_s, if
the approach is found to be valid and no better fix is
found.

Back to the issue itself. Here are a few quick ways to 
reproduce it reliably.

First without a Makefile:


$ ./gnumake64 -f no-Makefile
gnumake64:
gnumake64: ***.  Stop.

$ ./gnumake32 -f no-Makefile
gnumake32: no-Makefile: No such file or directory
gnumake32: *** No rule to make target 'no-Makefile'.  Stop.


or with a minimal Makefile, which I inline here using --eval,
but the effect is the same with a Makefile containing that
single line:


$ ./gnumake64.exe --eval "FORCE:;" FORCE
gnumake64:

$ ./gnumake32.exe --eval "FORCE:;" FORCE
gnumake32: 'FORCE' is up to date.
