GetLocaleInfoEx() is covered by #if (WINVER >= 0x0600), we define
_WIN32_WINNT as 0x0501 (src/include/port/win32.h) and WINVER inherits
that value.

Michael, none of your patches change this, so how does it ever build on
your system?

MSDN also says this about the function: "Header: winnls.h (include
windows.h)"; so there's probably something else needed to make it work
that is not in <winnls.h> alone.
