That'd be Esben to describe it better. :-)

But what really is of interest to us is that it does "fix building a
toolchain targeting mingw32". Really, what I want to know while I read
a code is to know what the kludge is _for_, not what the actual error
is.

The error snippet should be attached to the commit message, of course.
Thus, we can 'blame' the file and see what rev it is, and see the log
for that rev.

FYI, I'm looking at bugzilla. I'd like to have a BT for such things, but
a BT is a lot of work, as well. One has to do bug triage, de-duplication,
and all the stuff. Plus, it means we _have_ to remember to include bug ids
in commit messages, so we keep track btw BT <-> VCS.
