Can you get some more specifics on that? We know it was a fact with
early betas because of the conflicting exports, but I was under the
impression that these issues were all fixed by now.
(not saying the MSVC build shouldn't work, just that the gcc should work
too...)

Interesting - mingw was supposed to use compatible headers, I thought
:-)
Can you tru moving the #define up to the top of the file and see if that
fixes things? So it's pulled before *any* windows include file. (My msvc
has completely stopped building fromt he commandline. Need to fix that,
but it's not up right now)
