Thanks for the heads-up. I pushed the following somewhat-different
patch; I think it should fix the problem, though I don't have easy
access to MinGW and I haven't tested it. If you run into further
problems please let the list know.

Subject: [PATCH] build: port to MinGW and fix symlink bugs
MinGW problem reported by Theo Veenker in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020378.html>.
The patched code should work even on POSIXish hosts
where 'link' and 'symlink' fail for whatever reason,
e.g., if the destination file system is VFAT.
Also, the patch fixes some bugs when symlinks are used.
* Makefile (CFLAGS): Mention HAVE_LINK in the comment.
(TZDSRCS): Add asctime.o, since MinGW lacks asctime.
(TZDOBJS): Add asctime.c.
* private.h (HAVE_LINK): Default to 1.
* zic.c (link) [!HAVE_LINK]: New macro.
(symlink) [!HAVE_SYMLINK]: New macro.
(dolink): Fix some bugs when 'link' fails but 'symlink' succeeds.
Fall back on copying when both fail.
* NEWS: Document the above.
Release tzcode2013f and tzdata2013f.
* NEWS, Makefile (VERSION): Increase to 2013f.
