By the way, reduced test cases are generally appreciated by all...

It looks like windres doesn't like IDC_STATIC. Maybe MSVC defines it in 
the header files.
The w32api header files for cygwin/mingw don't define it.
Maybe put this in your rc files:
#ifndef IDC_STATIC
#define IDC_STATIC (-1)
#endif

This one looks like a bigger problem. It doesn't look like windres has 
the TOOLBAR keyword implemented. So someone has to submit a patch to 
binutils (where windres lives) to implement it.
