Indeed. If you can find sources, which aren't encumbered by an exclusive
licence, that's fine; for example, from this GitHub page, I deduce that
internal const uint PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE = 0x00020016;A further
example: on pinvoke.net I see
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PARENT_PROCESS = 0x00020000,
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST = 0x00020002with terms of use which grant
us complete freedom to use this information, subject to us accepting any
liabilities for any consequence of such use.

Ticket details:
To compile programs that use the Pseudo Console feature introduced recently
with Windows 10, there's a need in several additions to the MinGW w32api
headers and import libraries.
First, we need a value for _WIN32_WINNT that specifies Windows 10, in
sdkddkver.h:
#define _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10 0x0A00
Second, we need functions, data structures, and macros to create and update
lists of attributes for process and thread creation. These are:
InitializeProcThreadAttributeList function
UpdateProcThreadAttribute function
DeleteProcThreadAttributeList function
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST structure
STARTUPINFOEX structure
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE macro
Other PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_* macros
These seem to be supported since Windows 7, with the exception of
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE, which is only supported since Windows 10,
and STARTUPINFOEX, which is supported since Vista. I think the proper place
for them is in the winbase.h header file.
We also need the EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT flag for the CreateProcess
function (this flag is supported since Vista and should be in winbase.h).
And finally, we need the functions, data types, and macros to manipulate
pseudo-consoles, available only since Windows 10:
CreatePseudoConsole function
ClosePseudoConsole function
ResizePseudoConsole function
HPCON data type
Thanks in advance for providing these.
