[cfe-users] build errors with MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0 on Windows

[Jonas Toth via cfe-users]

Hi Maarten,

I am not a windows user and never build with mingw in my life. :)

Did you try out building a release-version of LLVM first? Sometimes
there are breaking changes committed that e.g. linux-users will not
notice on their system. Our Buildbots have to catch up first before the
issue is then fixed (http://lab.llvm.org:8011/console)

I myself did build LLVM with gcc-8 when it got released, which worked.
But I didnt retry since then.

Best, Jonas
