FWIW,  in my experince, projects written for MSVC/Borland/Watcom compilers
very rarely actually define IDC_STATIC, and the projects break on mingw
unless IDC_STATIC is defined to -1

One workaround is to have a new header winres.h , that defines IDC_STATIC
and then includes winresrc.h.    Alternatively, the define in winnt.h could
be guarded by #ifdef RC_INVOKED.

In the event, we will continue to get bug reports about windres not working
if IDC_STATIC is not defined for windres.exe
