I understand this as the creation of the (bare) gcc-4.9.1 succeeding 
with only
the MinGW headers... But I don't understand why you didn't install the full
prebuilt 4.0.3.1 runtime and w32api stuff...

This I don't understand... Why you are trying to reinvent the wheel and 
recreate
the w32api headers and import libraries for the MS DLLs?

I myself have done this last when making a variation of the w32api for 
the Win32s
subset used with the Win3.1/Win32s 16/32-bit hybrid opsys in the 1990's...

 > Do you have any idea why I am unable to compile this w32api please?

Probably it wasn't thought that someone wants to reinvent the wheel with the
import libraries, if not being one of the MinGW-maintainers. Are you one 
of them
but don't know how they will be recreated after some fixes?
