OK. Here is the story. My google search revealed this option for
including cmake into SDK.

TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK += "nativesdk-cmake"

Apparently, this option breaks the Linux SDK without any of the mingw
patches above and
cmake is already included into the Linux SDK. There is no point in
adding this option to
sumo.

Pulling just the mingw patch above made the Window SDK build successfully.

It is possible to pull this patch from master into the sumo branch as
it fixes a real issue?
