Error during cross-compilation with mingw32:
revision 13a3daa (2014-11-29)

[   61s]
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/pulseaudio/src/pulsecore/core-util.c:1820:
undefined reference to `getuid'
[   61s]
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/pulseaudio/src/pulsecore/core-util.c:1821:
undefined reference to `getuid'

On a positive note, I managed to get json-c 0.12 to compile with mingw32.
PulseAudio now requires 0.11 or later.
