I added this configure argument and the build does pass, so I've
pushed it to master. I probably will drop the build config
entirely at some point though, IIRC it doesn't actually build
working executables. It's kind of handy to have one elderly
gcc in the mix, though, as long as the mingw foibles don't
cause too much hassle.
