This is presumably due to the historic bad namespace pollution in Mingw64
winpthreads. They stuffed a bunch of macros in pthread.h for things
like gmtime_r, localtime_r and friends.  This was certainly true in the
mingw64 version that shipped with Fedora 20, but in Fedora 21 that bad
code in pthread.h has gone away. Presumably this change is what has
caused you trouble building.

Daniel
