With MinGW's

  gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)
  GNU ld version 2.17.50 20060824

the old define caused link errors:

  git.o: In function `main':
  C:/msysgit/git/git.c:500: undefined reference to `mingw_main'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The modified define works.

I have the same tools, but not this error. ???

I cleaned my work tree and built several times but did not
find out what exactly is causing the error.  So I came up
with the modified define, which declares the static
mingw_main in global scope.  I have no clue why I see the
error that you don't have.
