Hi Arjen:

I also did a google search for ran_s and Wine, and that was
implemented long ago in the msvcrt library (which I assume is
automatically propagated on Windows platforms to what g++ feels is
stdlib).  So I am puzzled indeed, but we will know more once we get
your results for your more usual Windows platforms and also for a much more
modern g++ for your MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform than I am running on
my ancient MinGW/MSYS platform.

Thanks!
