That's it. I recently installed a new MinGW version, but failed to update the

I am trying to compile vim 8 on Windows with mingw.
These are the steps I executed:
git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git
cd vim\src
\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak ARCH=i686
The compilation of diff.c failes with the following error message:diff.c: In
function 'ex_diffpatch':
