[Fontconfig] Fontconfig 2.12.91 compilation error on MingW

[Reino Wijnsma]

Hello,

I've read https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2017-December/006107.html, but my issue is different.

I'm compiling Fontconfig with the help of forked script of https://github.com/rdp/ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers (which uses Cygwin, MingW, GCC) to build FFmpeg in the end.
I've just released another FFmpeg build, but still with Fontconfig 2.12.6, because I got a compilation error with v2.12.91.

Let me first say that I only compile what's really necessary:

build_fontconfig() {
  download_and_unpack_file https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/release/fontconfig-2.12.91.tar.bz2
  cd fontconfig-2.12.91
    if [[ ! -f Makefile.in.bak ]]; then # Library only.
      sed -i.bak "/^SUBDIRS/s/fc.*/src/;464,465d;/^install-data-am/s/:.*/: install-pkgconfigDATA/;/\tinstall-xmlDATA$/d" Makefile.in
    fi
    export UUID_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
    export UUID_LIBS="-luuid" # 'configure' somehow only looks at '$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "uuid"'.
    generic_configure "--enable-iconv --enable-libxml2 --disable-docs --with-libiconv" # Use Libxml2 instead of Expat.
    do_make_and_make_install
    unset UUID_CFLAGS
    unset UUID_LIBS
  cd ..
} # freetype, libxml >= 2.6, itstool (cygwin), [iconv, dlfcn]

- I'm leaving out all the '/fc-*/'-dirs and I'm only compiling SUBDIRS = fontconfig src. This way I'm not even getting the '/fc-cache.exe/'-error, but I might if I would build normally, I don't know.
- I had to install Cygwin's "itstool". Apparently that has become a prerequisite with this latest version.
- Another prerequisite seems to be libuuid. Cygwin already installed it for me, but Fontconfig's '/configure/' doesn't search for it.

Then the compilation error, beginning at '/src/fcatomic.c/':

And that's the reason why I stick to v2.12.6 for the moment. I hope this helps.
