That was the right action. I could reproduce the problem and the build-rules
are indeed incorrect for this platform: "buildid" and "buildversion" are
always regenerated, on every invocation of make(1). I'll provide a patch,
shortly.

Oh, mingw-w64 - we don't support that yet, but it would be great to
get it working. Can you do me a favor? Could you run the 64-bit
version of gcc like this, and send me the output?

  gcc -dM -E - </dev/null

(or just "gcc -dM -E -" and press Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Z or whatever is needed
to send EOF).
