Comment (by tristen_e@…):

 This is also an issue in 1.41 (and therefore most likely any version
 onwards.)

 I've commented it out (lines 69-77 in v1.41) as suggested by Danil (thank
 you Sir!) Probably wrapping that bit of code with some kind of #if #endif
 would be the best solution as suggested by anonymous.

 I've recompiled and everything seems OK - for those of you wondering what
 exactly what code it is that requires commenting in file
 /libs/thread/src/win32/tss_pe.cpp, it's this:

 {{{
 extern "C" const IMAGE_TLS_DIRECTORY32 _tls_used __attribute__
 ((section(".rdata$T"))) =
 {
         (DWORD) &__tls_start__,
         (DWORD) &__tls_end__,
         (DWORD) &__tls_index__,
         (DWORD) (&__crt_xl_start__+1),
         (DWORD) 0,
         (DWORD) 0
 };
 }}}
