As reported in the PR103560. The patch is a slightly modified version
of the patch proposed by the bug reporter (with pseudonym?) Carlos Une.

The problem seems to be that 'stat ("./", ...)' fails with MinGW while
'stat (".", ...)' works. Besides, I think it makes sense to defer the
usage of '/' until needed - and I believe the error messages also make
more sense now.

Due to diagnostic changes in GCC 12, this pre-exising old issue was
exposed and shows up as bootstrap fail in GCC 12.

I intent to commit it later today (to GCC 12, only),
unless someone suggests a change.

PS: I was briefly considering to use DIR_SEPARATOR (as defined in system.h),
but that one is '/' (while DIR_SEPARATOR_2 is '\\', if defined). Thus, it
does not seem to be worthwhile - especially as '/' needs to be converted to
"/" for strcat - or
   fullname[strlen(path)] = DIR_SEPARATOR; fullname[strlen(path)+1]='\0';
has to be used.
