The cause is the 'euidaccess' module from gnulib. The documentation in
doc/glibc-functions/euidaccess.texi makes it sound like this module
works on mingw and MSVC. This patch fixes it.

euidaccess: Port to native Windows.
* lib/euidaccess.c (euidaccess): On native Windows, just use _access().
* posix-modules (exclude_for_mingw): Remove 'euidaccess'.
