Thank you for that. Until now I've been wondering why Emacs has no
problems with MSVC, but has suddenly started having problems with
MinGW32. Is it reasonable for the runtime to change _fmode between
_start() and main()?  I think it probably is, so unless we really
need _fmode to be set between _start() and main() we should move the
assignment to main().
