Building the an updated version of liblouis with Ubuntu 16.10 LTS
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc fails:

This happens because gnulib/lib/getopt.c does this:
/* When used standalone, flockfile and funlockfile might not be
available. */
# ifndef _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS
# define flockfile(fp) /* nop */
# define funlockfile(fp) /* nop */
# endif
But Ubuntu's mingw-w64-common package defines
_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS in
/usr/share/mingw-w64/include/pthread_unistd.h (line:150). Unfortunately
flockfile itself is not defined.
I propose the following to fix this similar to how it is done in
getdelim.c:
diff --git a/lib/getopt.c b/lib/getopt.c
index 543c8e7..84f80d3 100644
