I have just sent a patch to fix that regression.
I ended up starting again from scratch last night and trying the build with MSYS2 instead. MSYS2 has really improved since I last looked at it a couple of years back, and I was able to get a working build environment all set and working without any issues, i.e. set up the build environment, run configure, make and make install. I did make a few notes during installation so if people think it's useful I can work through them again and come up with something suitable for the wiki. ATB, Mark.
