The older builds are made with a modified types.h from win32-beta/contrib, 
that defines ssize_t as long long to support seeking in dvds. Unfortunatelly 
mingw does not have working largefile support. I did not yet come up with a 
clean solution for this, but maybe this is causing your problems, too.
