--- Comment #8 from Piotr Caban  ---
The mingw compiled executable links to msvcrt, it's visible in winedump output:
offset 00003828 msvcrt.dll
  0000720c   959  fopen
This is why it will not work on Windows (because msvcrt doesn't support x
mode).

Visual Studio compiled executable links to:
offset 00002d70 api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
  0000310c   125  fopen
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll forwards to ucrtbase in wine.

This means that you have done something wrong while testing your patch. The

compiled executable to work properly.
