--- Comment #9 from Nicolas Dufresne (stormer) <nicolas at ndufresne.ca> ---
Ok, now gst-ffmpeg fails to build:

In file included from ./libavutil/thread.h:132:0,
                 from libavfilter/pthread.c:29:
./compat/w32pthreads.h: In function 'pthread_mutex_init':
./compat/w32pthreads.h:117:5: error: implicit declaration of function
'InitializeCriticalSectionEx' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]


There is no trace of InitializeCriticalSectionEx in our bundled MingW, in fact
synchapi.h is missing. It's not clear when it was introduced in MingW, but
sounds like to go forward with this, we need some update to MingW no matter
what.
