I just opened a pull request on GitHub [0] to add your patch for mingw shared
builds and another one to fix clang debug builds for master. Let's see what
Travis thinks of it.

Mingw's debug builds are still broken, but now the following error message is
shown:

> cc1: error: command line option ‘-foutput-class-dir=-DL_ENDIAN’ is valid for Java but not for C [-Werror]

The problem is that `-d` is a `./config` option, but in the case of mingw it is
passed directly to `./Configure` which thinks it's a compiler flag so then gcc
gets confused. A solution would be to somehow detect the mingw cross compilation
from `./config` so that we would use it for mingw builds too, but I'm not sure
what the best way to do that would be (and on top of this we still have the
mingw warnings problem).
