Subject: mingw using wrong errno definition

In an attempt to build the cinstall source without using MSVC, I have
made the following minor changes to my local copy of the winsup source
from CVS. One corrects an obvious typo and the other was so I could
configure and build everything in one pass from the main directory
including the cinstall code.

Index: winsup/configure.in

The problem is I am getting the following errors trying to link
cinstall. I have also included the compile line for the offending file.

It appears that despite the "-mno-cygwin
-I../../../../src/winsup/mingw/include" switches to gcc, it is still
picking up the standard cygwin definition of errno. I am too tired to
have a quick solution to this and I am not sure I would know the right
one if I were completely awake. Thought I might luck out and fine an
answer in my mailbox in the morning. :^)
