They have problem building library on Windows, so just purge Windows unfriendly parts from library.
Breaking ABI unannounce seems highly unusual to me. I suggest reverting library to 5.1.8 until issue is resolved.

If the ABI break is actually intended, as it seems, then reverting to 5.1.8 is simply going to cause more breakage for packages that are built against it.
