A patch with #ifdef __MINT__ certainly helps us understand the issue. But
we need a plain-text description of the issue as well. Just applying
patches with #ifdef is not gnulib's way of doing: When we apply a patch,
we try to make it useful to as many platforms as possible. Often a problem
exists in several platforms; we prefer a single autoconf test to a couple
of #ifdefs.
