I think it might be worth trying to push some of these patches up-stream again. That way, we are actually fixing MinGW.
Been there. The issue is that MinGW has a patch acceptance policy that says that material should be documented by MS to be acceptable. The practice of reverse engineering would jeopardise the interests of some MinGW users I was told.
Clearly, functions exported by ordinal only are often (mostly?) undocumented.
This is the very reason I am maintaining these patches; to add just enough of the undocumented stuff to MinGW to make it usable for compiling Wine tests. Stefan Leichter already has been helping out recently, but we could use more helping hands of course.
