Comment (by simonmar):

 The mingw fix restores the old behaviour, namely that X_OK is ignored,
 which effectively means that all files appear to be executable.  Also they
 did it by adding an inline function to `unistd.h`, which means we'd need a
 C wrapper to get their fix.

 I think we should implement this properly (whatever that means) in 6.8.
