I compiled today the pretest version of GDB 7.9 using the latest
MinGW32 runtime v3.21, and hit a build failure:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.././gnulib/import -I.. -O2 -g3
-D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS -MT rename.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/rename.Tpo -c -o rename.o

This happens because MinGW 3.21 now does define 'struct timespec'. It
does that in an internal header file included by unistd.h. The
definition there is different from what gnulib provides, thus the
error.
So I think that gnulib ought to test unistd.h as one of the headers
that could potentially define this structure, in addition to the ones
it already tests: pthread.h, time.h, and sys/time.h.
TIA
