I did see the patch and we had a discussion on irc. That attribute 
seemed to have been removed for a reason, which otherwise caused errors.

[23:07:02] <ktietz> do you recall why we removed that selectany from 
GUID definitions?  I remember we did together some time ago, but I can't 
recall it right
[23:08:33] <ktietz> as we have a suggestion in ML thread 
"[Mingw-w64-public] [PATCH] guiddef.h: Use __declspec(selectany) on GUID 
declarations."" about adding it
[23:22:17] <lh_mouse> try `git blame` ?
[23:22:30] <lh_mouse> maybe you can find the commit that removed it.
[23:24:43] <ktietz> AFAIR this happened already on svn ... in general I 
have to admit that annotation of declspec(selectany) is the right thing, 
but we had some reason for not doing it.
[23:25:31] <ktietz> scenario I could think about is, that op code 
defines its own guids without selectany, which would then collide with 
that one with selectany
```
