Details:

I see this error

gettext-runtime/gnulib-lib/mbsinit.c:61:28: error: invalid operands to binary
== (have 'mbstate_t' {aka 'const struct _Mbstatet'} and 'int')

When building gettext 0.20.1 on MinGW-w64 with GCC 9.2.0 for i686.  I know the
problem is that we are trying to compare an int with a struct, which is not
supported in C.  The interesting thing is that this does not happen on Linux
(possibly because the system gnulib is used).  So I am not sure what to do.

The configure options were pretty bland (just --prefix and
--with-libiconv-prefix).

I did not run autogen.sh.
