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.
