Hmm, it has been several weeks since then and I'd like to bump this tiny
issue. The source of these errors was within
i686-w64-mingw32/include/d3dx9math.inl where some inline functions were
using the 'max()' and 'min()' macros that never seemed to get a chance to
be defined thanks to the default settings of this build. It could be easily
wiped by replacing the file in question with the 'older version' from GCC
4.7.0 prerelease by rubenvb if I didn't miss anything, but since this
problematic file seemed to be from the current (2.0.3) release of mingw-w64
CRT, I would curiously wonder if it was just a regression of the CRT source
rather than this particular personal build. Any idea?
