I'm stuck on this:

w32.c:4725:7: error: unknown type name 'REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER'

In my install, that name is defined in

c:/mingw/i686-w64-mingw32/include/ddk/ntifs.h

Adding

#include <ntifs.h>

to w32.c doesn't work because the ddk directory is not in the automatic
search path of the compiler.

#include <ddk/ntifs.h>

doesn't work either because ntifs.h includes other files from the same
directory.

Searching the web shows that the "solution" is to add the ddk directory
to the search path with -I. But that creates a dependency on where
MinGWw64 was installed (not everybody installs con c:/mingw!)

Two places where the problem is discussed:
