Looks like the CMakeFile in dmlc-core has been changed in multiple PRs that causes amalgamation to break:

• FreeBSD support in endian.h dmlc/dmlc-core#476" error: sys/endian.h: No such file or directory"
• Add install target. dmlc/dmlc-core#495 "error: 'backtrace_symbols' was not declared in this scope"
• Enable specifying stacktrace size at runtime. dmlc/dmlc-core#470 "error: "Shlwapi.h: No such file or directory"

@eric-haibin-lin Platform-specific headers such as Shlwapi.h should have been wrapped with platform-specific macros (_WIN32 etc). Does amalgamation not honor platform-specific macros?

@eric-haibin-lin This patch should fix amalgamation:

Amalgamation test passed
Thank you @hcho3 !

Somehow upgrading dmlc-core breaks Julia?
