[Bug-tar] compiling tar cvs using mingw

[Gerry Reno]

  I checked out tar cvs head and have been trying to compile it using
Mingw.  Everything in lib compiled fine but I've been getting some
errors in ./src.

  I told configure to use -mno-cygwin and the configure seemed to work.
 I then ran make.  I ran into an error with waitpid.c saying pid_t was
undefined so I included types.h;   create.c couldn't find pwd.h and
grp.h so I copied those from /usr/include;  extract.c is saying too
many arguments to mkdir and here I am stuck.  

Making all in src
d:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe[2]: Entering directory
`D:/cygwin/home/greno/dev/g
nu/tar/src'
if gcc -mno-cygwin -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib
-I/usr/include
 -I/usr/include/sys    -g -O2 -MT extract.o -MD -MP -MF
".deps/extract.Tpo" \
  -c -o extract.o `test -f 'extract.c' || echo './'`extract.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/extract.Tpo" ".deps/extract.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/extract.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

d:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe[2]: *** [extract.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/greno/dev/gnu/tar'
d:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe: *** [all] Error 2


  It looks like the mingw io.h would define it with one arg and cygwin
stat.h would define it with two args.  extract.c is using two args in
call.  Any suggestions on how to correct this last problem.

thx,
Gerry Reno
