Comment:
I've attached my current W32API patch, to address this issue; please check if it meets your requirements.
Note that, to expose the pseudo-console API, you will need to #define NTDDI_VERSION NTDDI_WIN10_RS5, (which, with our <sdkddkver.h> should also implicitly #define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10; if not, you will also need to define this explicitly).
Further note that, while I've also added a significant swathe of ancillary manifest constant definitions, gleaned from Microsoft's UpdateProcThreadAttribute() documentation, I've omitted some information which may be found there; I found that page to be confusing, w.r.t. which version of Windows was required to support each attribute, and I've omitted those about which I was uncertain.

Ticket details:
To compile programs that use the Pseudo Console feature introduced recently with Windows 10, there's a need in several additions to the MinGW w32api headers and import libraries.
First, we need a value for _WIN32_WINNT that specifies Windows 10, in sdkddkver.h:
#define _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10 0x0A00
Second, we need functions, data structures, and macros to create and update lists of attributes for process and thread creation. These are:
InitializeProcThreadAttributeList function
UpdateProcThreadAttribute function
DeleteProcThreadAttributeList function
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST structure
STARTUPINFOEX structure
PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE macro
Other PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_* macros
These seem to be supported since Windows 7, with the exception of PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE, which is only supported since Windows 10, and STARTUPINFOEX, which is supported since Vista. I think the proper place for them is in the winbase.h header file.
We also need the EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT flag for the CreateProcess function (this flag is supported since Vista and should be in winbase.h).
And finally, we need the functions, data types, and macros to manipulate pseudo-consoles, available only since Windows 10:
CreatePseudoConsole function
ClosePseudoConsole function
ResizePseudoConsole function
HPCON data type
Thanks in advance for providing these.
