Attempt to complile Python/dynload_win.c by MinGW fails
due to static reimplementation of strcasecmp function in this file:
---
/* Case insensitive string compare, to avoid any dependencies on particular
 C RTL implementations */
static int strcasecmp (char *string1, char *string2)
{
 int first, second;
 do {
 first = tolower(*string1);
 second = tolower(*string2);
 string1++;
 string2++;
 } while (first && first == second);
 return (first - second);
}
---
And this reimplementation clashed with native declaration of strcasecmp()
which one is a part of MinGW runtime
So suggested patch (for 3.5.2 and 2.7.12)
just disables static reimplementation of strcasecmp for MinGW
