What does spawnv have to do with _XOPEN_SOURCE?  Isn't spawnv a 
Microsoft Windows-specific function and _XOPEN_SOURCE is a Unix thing?

You are on the right track that CFLAGS options or additional 
pre-processor definitions are likely needed.

It is my understanding that the MinGW headers and library may support 
multiple CRT versions but the default is the CRT version assured to 
come with any Windows system, which leaves many functions out.
