Re: 3.0.1 release? (report on mingw)

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Thanks for Michael for your detailed explanation.

Hi John. Perhaps it will take some time for me to get a good result on this 
issue.
I do not want to be dalayed the dirsribution of 3.0.1 about it.

Fortunately there seem to be a temporal way to avoid the issue.
At the moment, I would like to use it.

Therefore please ignore the previous patch for lo-sysdep.cc that I have posted 
previously.

Regards

Tatsuro
