looks like a recent change (August) in a library that translates
calls to some "names" to "_names":

Subject: mingw, head, use of sleep in utils/prof/cgprof/main.c?


> while trying to update my copy of cvs head (mingw/cygwin/winxp),
> configure complained about needing a newer ld, so I updated my
> mingw installation. the build is running along now, but I ran into
> a problem with old code in utils/prof/cgprof/main.c, which uses
> "sleep", which doesn't really seem to exist under windows.
>
> mingw provides _sleep (stdlib.h) and Sleep (winbase.h), and the
> former seems deprecated, according to comments. compare
