[bug #40227] Various fixes for MSVC build of 4.0

[Christian Boos]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #40227 (project make):

> (Btw, what is gnumake32.exe in your case, and how is it
different from gnumake64.exe?)

Sorry if that wasn't clear: gnumake32.exe was built with
the 32-bits toolchain from MinGW-w64, and gnumake64.exe
was built with the 64-bits toolchain from MinGW-w64.
Only the 64-bits build presents this issue, which is
also why you don't see it with the (32-bits, obviously)
build done with the mingw.org toolchain.

>  So we need some other preprocessor symbols.

Right. What about simply _WIN64, as it doesn't seem 
that mingw.org will support that anytime soon?
Moreover I just found out that in MinGW-w64 the support 
for _vsnprintf_s function dates back nearly from the 
beginning of the project, so no need for a version check.

Besides, I tried -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 and this was
also enough to fix the issue, indeed! So this is probably
the way to go.
