This is quite strange. The documentation at:

        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364571(v=vs.85).aspx

claims this value (from WinIoCtl.h) is pulled in when you include Windows.h, and builtins.c
has this:

        #ifdef OS_NT
        #include <windows.h>
        #endif

Could you maybe try making the above unconditional, or including WinIoCtl.h. If all else
fails, can you figure whether headers that VC8 and VC9 use have these definition?

I vaguely believe windows.h and friends are now part of Platform SDK, but I don't
remember how a compiler finds them, and which version is used.
