no.
just for eyes:
74 #if defined (__MINGW32__) || defined (__CYGWIN__)
75 # ifdef _WIN32_WINNT
76 #  if _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0501
77 #   undef _WIN32_WINNT
78 #   define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
79 #  endif
80 # else
81 #  define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
82 # endif
83 #endif  /* __MINGW32__ || __CYGWIN__ */

the condition on line 75 is always false, because none of the inclusions 
above include neither `windows.h` nor `winver.h`.
it can be solved by inclusion `windows.h` after line 74.
but I did it and faced with another error:
```

in that case I couldn't figure out why the `ada-exp.c.tmp` file is 
mentioned in the error message but I don't see anything that looks like 
an error in the `ada-exp.c` file.
I think `ada-exp.c.tmp` is some kind of generated file... I don't know 
what and how should I fix in that case %)

I will think on it...

I understand.



I have another option. will try and report back.





best!
