What do you mean by this? You're error below suggests that either
HAVE_DIRENT_H is not defined and dirent.h is not being included or
mingw's dirent.h with the appropriate definitions are not being used.
Can you tell which it is?

This all suggests to me that some dirent.h is being found and it's not
the appropriate mingw one that has the wide character versions in it.
Does the include/dirent.h file in your mingw install and see if it
defines any of these things like _WDIR? Can you do "make V=1" so it
shows the whole command being run? Then maybe you can look at the -I
paths and see if there's some other dirent.h it might be finding.
