After a quick investigation it looks like the culprit is the commit 
bb2374e19505d5c6a72039a46d55ec3f632192f4. It got reviewed as review number 
117339.

It looks like there's a need to pay more attention to the multi-platform 
aspects of libsolid when reviewing.

Now we have the following choices:
1) Add in the release notes that solid and most of Tier 3 won't build in 
Windows and Mac OS X (aka we failed on the multiplatform promise on first 
release, aka just great for PR);
2) Revert the patch mentioned above and roll a new 5.0 (aka annoy David and 
the packagers[*]);
3) Produce a hot fix which ports the win and iokit backends propery and roll a 
new 5.0 (aka metalworkers should get their ducks in order immediately, then 
annoy David and the packagers[*]).

Please pick one ASAP.

Regards.

[*] Would make for an awesome band's name BTW.
