Unfortunately, the MinGW version that the replacement libraries are 
built from omit this symbol. Please file a bug report.

For Win32 (--arch=x86_mscoff) this symbol is aliased to SetWindowLongA 
which should be fine.

What you actually need is Visual C++ (linker and runtime libraries). For 
the missing symbol above you also need the Windows SDK which is usually 
included in the Visual C++ installation.
