Backpatch: Fix warnings about declaration of environ on MinGW

anarazel · anarazel · commit 00bdbaca6056 · 2025-11-04T13:24:58.000-05:00
Backpatch commit 7bc9a8b to 13-17. The motivation for backpatching is that we want to update CI to Debian Trixie. Trixie contains a newer mingw installation, which would trigger the warning addressed by 7bc9a8b. The risk of backpatching seems fairly low, given that it did not cause issues in the branches the commit is already present. While CI is not present in 13-14, it seems better to be consistent across branches.
