Build failure on windows: rts/Linker.c

I'm getting this error when trying to compile current GHC-HEAD on windows:

rts/Linker.c:1039 basicly is just:

RTS_MINGW_ONLY_SYMBOLS

with the definition somewhere below line 381:

/* These are statically linked from the mingw libraries into the ghc
   executable, so we have to employ this hack. */
#define RTS_MINGW_ONLY_SYMBOLS                           \
      ...
      SymI_NeedsProto(mktime)                            \
      ...
      SymI_NeedsProto(localtime)                         \
      SymI_NeedsProto(gmtime)                            \
      ...

I tried all different versions of MinGW - the one of the current Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0 and the one currently available at mingw.org and an old version I had installed.

However, removing these 3 lines will result in another error, so the changes to fix this won't be that trivial:

rts\sm\GC.c: In function 'new_gc_thread':

rts\sm\GC.c:863:11:
     error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'OSThreadId' from type 'int'
make[1]: *** [rts/dist/build/sm/GC.thr_o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

(even though I'm not 100% if that's because of those changes, since I probably never got that far in the building process...)
