As it is not a real error, I turned it into a warning again with
"-Wno-error=write-strings" in ReactOS-generic.rbuild.

GCC from RosBE also emits warnings like "_WIN32_IE" redefined, it does
not make impossible to use it.

Maybe your GCC is configured differently? What "gcc -v" says?

How it can be?!

At first, patched GCC. But when Daniel said he failed to build GCC, I
replaced __enable_execute_stack() in libgcc instead. See bug #4810.
