Mingw Runtime 3.6 provides definitions for S_ISLNK, _S_ISLNK, S_IFLNK,
_S_IFLNK and _lstat. Most of these definitions are non-functional, and
break fileio.c.


How does the MinGW runtime define these macros and _lstat, what
exactly is non-functional about them, and why did they introduce those
definitions?  Surely they didn't want to provide a non-functional
symlink support, did they?

I'm asking these questions because the answers might suggest what
would be the best way of dealing with these new misfeatures.

TIA


Ohh well... I just received announcement of a newer Mingw runtime (version 3.7) in the mail and downloaded it. They removed the LNK and lstat macros. My proposed patch has become obsolete.

Cheers
