--- Comment #2 from François Gouget <fgouget at codeweavers.com> ---
The build VM is running Debian 8.6 with MinGW64 these days.

This initially looked like the compiler upgrade caused regressions but it turns
out the bugs were in the tests. So this is fixed.

This has brought up some instability in the build VM too: from time to time
restoring the live snapshot causes the guest kernel (3.16.0-4) to crash so that
the VM needs to be rebooted and the snapshot recreated. However that's a
separate issue (the guest kernel has now been upgraded to 4.7.0-0.bpo.1 in the
hope this will fix this issue).

Regarding the headers, the crosstest route does not give us a WineTest.exe so
we instead do a configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 (or i686) which, based on
my previous comment, uses MinGW's headers. We could potentially change the way
we build the Windows binaries if there's a clear reason to.
