You must rebuild the mingw32-w32api package with that patch. And you will have to do it every time when mingw32-w32api is updated. To be honest it might be better to include the patch in the Fedora distribution but I generally prefer to go things to the upstream first. You can read how to rebuild rpm on http://www.linuxweblog.com/patch-rebuild-rpm, for example. Note that %_topdir macro is not /usr/src/redhat/ but ~/rpmbuild/. Simply put the patch to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory and apply it as written in chapter "6. Adding the patch to the package". You can get the latest source rpm from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/mingw32-w32api/3.13/5.fc13/src/mingw32-w32api-3.13-5.fc13.src.rpm. Feel free to ask me if you hit any problem.
