I made the change you suggested to the one of 2 winbase.h 's on this 
machine, the one I think is relevant:

Directory of C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\MinGW\include
...
12/22/2016  11:34 PM           102,458 winbase.h
...
C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\MinGW\include>type winbase.h
BOOLEAN WINAPI CreateSymbolicLink(LPTSTR lpSymlinkFileName,
   LPTSTR lpTargetFileName,
    DWORD  dwFlags
);

#define SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_DIRECTORY 1

and I think I get farther with build. The way I see I see it is that the 
warnings from the C part turn into errors on the following, g++ step.

I thought I might try to find a windows sdk for windows 10, and 
downloaded something that took an hour to install without moving the 
needle on this. So I'm stuck, and this doesn't even seem to be a C 
question anymore, so I'm ready to move on unless someone has a bright 
idea or an average one that I've missed.

Merry Xmas
