Sorry for the delay.
I just uploaded my patches to the same folder on my server.
I use Fedora 25 and system mingw for compilation. For some reasons you
still need widl, even if accesibility is disabled, therefore
mingw-w64-widl is needed (it contains 32- and 64-bit widl on Fedora)
and additional wine-devel (for include files).
The patches are found by trial and error:
compile (with writing output in a build-log) until an error occurs
and than analyze the log-file.
The fixes are partly taken from (upstream) bug-fixes,
partly backported from more recent Firefox sources and partly from me.

I use icecat on work for daily research and as "host" for IE-tab
or FireIE for older Scada-systems.
I will see how my self-build icecat behaves.
