I'll get back to this.  I'm investigating and think I need to bring this
up with GNULIB.  If you want to add the following to lib/mbuiter.h for
now, it should allow you to compile for now:

#if !defined mbsinit && !HAVE_MBSINIT
# define mbsinit(ps) 1
#endif

Otherwise, your patch looks fine, except for these warnings:

The fact that declarations for gethostbyname & getservbyname are not
found by the time they are encountered implies that either <winsock2.h>
is not being included or something is suppressing the processing of
these declarations in this header.  This should probably be fixed, even
if it does link anyhow.
