Comment (by simonmar):
The mingw fix restores the old behaviour, namely that X_OK is ignored,
which effectively means that all files appear to be executable. Also they
did it by adding an inline function to `unistd.h`, which means we'd need a
C wrapper to get their fix.
I think we should implement this properly (whatever that means) in 6.8.
