Bug #863322
Configure detection of _mkdir() fails, leading to build error in MinGW
0%
Description
In S3_0 crosser based build (at least), configure fails to detect availability of _mkdir(). At compile that leads to an attempt to fall back to mkdir() which takes wrong number of parameters in Windows and thus results in compile error.
From config.log:
configure:28352: checking for _mkdir

I think all function checks, that configure does with AC_CHECK_FUNCS after it has set debug compilation flags to use, are affected.
Debug flags need to be set before checking for _mkdir(), as configure.ac comment says:
"dnl Possible "-Wmissing-declarations" and "-Werror" will prune out
dnl cases where we should not use _mkdir() even if it's possible to link against it"
I'm not sure if that's absolutely needed in later branches where msys1 is no longer supported, but at least in S2_6 it is.
For S2_6, at least, I would resolve this by reverting addition of -Wold-style-definition debug compilation flag.

Sounds good to me (since I was the one that added it).

Patches to revert -Wold-style-definition from stable branches.
Another solution for master will be implemented at later time.

Patch that could work for master unless it breaks msys2 build (to be tested).

Msys2 configure and compile of related parts go through, so I think this is not causing problems. Currently msys2 build of Qt-client fails for other reasons.
