File /usr/include/w32api/basetyps.h. 
It would be better to have REFFMTID type defined
for C compiler as
#define REFFMTID const FMTID*
instead of 
#define REFFMTID const FMTID* const.
In the original Win32 platform SDK
it is defined as 
#define REFFMTID const IID * __MIDL_CONST
where __MIDL_CONST trurns into const only
when compiling proxy/stub for the interface 
(as far as i understand).
Current const definition prevents successful
build of, for example, clisp.
