It does not matter too much for this part that writes crash report, but
keeping the file format the same across platforms will make it easier for
tools to read output, so as a general principle, I think this is a
suboptimal solution to the issue.  How about throwing something like this
in MinGW specific header files?

        #define getppid() 0

Of course, we could also implement it, using NtQueryInformationProcess() 
as suggested by Google.
