Cannot build fstat.c on mingw
I get an error with compiling: In file included from fstat.c:52: stat-time.h: In function ‘get_stat_atime_ns’: stat-time.h:52:43: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘const struct _stati64’ 52 | # define STAT_TIMESPEC(st, st_xtim) ((st)->st_xtim) and lots more the same. I came across this when trying to build GNU libiconv 1.17, which seems to use the current version of fstat.c. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org

GNU libiconv 1.17 compiles fine for mingw (w64 flavour, as shipped with Cygwin 2.9.0), for me. So, the cause could be that you are using a different version of mingw. You might not be the only one. Therefore it would be useful if you could analyze this failure. Then, let's see what is the best way forward (in Gnulib and in libiconv). Thanks! Bruno

Maybe an MSYS2 update fixed it, maybe it was a Heisenbug. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
