If you do not want to download an arbitrary `.exe` file as described mailing list post linked above (which I totally get), you can just do a build for Windows/x86 and copy over the `fixpath.exe` that was generated by that.

I understand having hacks around the build system issues is less than ideal. Ideally we would backport your WINENV patch to 11, but that would be much more invasive in terms of risk managment. The proposed solution in this PR does at least barely touch other platforms, so the risk for breaking something is rather low imho.
