You should define HAVE_CONFIG_H on your compiler commandline.
The config.h which configure generates for a mingw32 gcc (when cross
compiling) is attached.

msvcrt should be the right one. Perhaps the MSVC option /MT solves the
problem (wild guess).

No idea about that. In the mingw32 header files it is defined in
sys/stat.h.
