windows/mingw strange compiler error when freezing viper code #7894
Description
I was tring to freeze some libraries into a mingw windows build today, forgetting there was viper code in some of them.
There's an odd compiler error though that took me way too long to figure out was related to the viper functions, so thought it was worth documenting here:
micropython/ports/windows$ make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-w64-mingw32- FROZEN_MANIFEST=manifest.py
...

I gather for actual viper support on windows we'll need a finished version of #4699 but this error looks like it'll need a fix similar to #2851 based on the issues that PR closed?
