As the package search reveals (try using it!) you need the w32api
package.

However, this package is listed as a dependency of gcc so it should have
been selected when you selected gcc.  Perhaps you used setup in such as
way as to override its choices, which is not a good idea.  If setup
picks packages that you think you don't need when you select something
that you do need, keep those selections.
