Comment:

 There is no `_strcmpi`.
 Deprecated POSIX functions `strcmpi` and `stricmp` were replaced with
 `_stricmp` (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235384.aspx).
 For compatibility between M$ product versions, the library OLDNAMES.LIB
 maps old names to new names. For instance, `strcmpi` maps to `_stricmp`
 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/backward-
 compatibility).
 Therefore, https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/code/6179/ should be
 rewritten.
