This comes from a misguided attempt to compile with MinGW on Windows,
done by Sun a couple of years ago. You have to bear in mind that there
is only a handful of configurations of MinGW in use--the tinderboxes and
my Fedora MinGW build. If an external module is not built with either of
them, it is safe to assume it fails to build.
