swab wrapper fails mingw.org's MinGW compilation of GDB |

The following snippet from Gnulib's unistd.h causes a compilation
error when building the current development version of GDB 11:
#if @GNULIB_MDA_SWAB@
/* On native Windows, map 'swab' to '_swab', so that -loldnames is not
required. In C++ with GNULIB_NAMESPACE, avoid differences between
platforms by defining GNULIB_NAMESPACE::creat always. */
# if defined _WIN32 && !defined __CYGWIN__
# if !(defined __cplusplus && defined GNULIB_NAMESPACE)
# undef swab
# define swab _swab
# endif
_GL_CXXALIAS_MDA (swab, void, (char *from, char *to, int n));
# else
_GL_CXXALIAS_SYS (swab, void, (const void *from, void *to, ssize_t n));
# endif
_GL_CXXALIASWARN (swab);
#endif
The problem is that mingw.org's MinGW uses a slightly different
prototype of _swab:
_CRTIMP __cdecl __MINGW_NOTHROW void _swab (const char *, char *, size_t);
So the difference between the prototypes causes this compilation error
in C++ programs:
CXX unittests/string_view-selftests.o
In file included from ./../gdbsupport/common-defs.h:86,
from ./defs.h:28,

The suggested fix is as follows (__MINGW32_VERSION is defined by
mingw.org's MinGW, but not by MinGW64):
